I’ve been podcasting for 8 years, but I’ve never really sat down and told the full story of how I got here. This episode is my raw, uncut conversation with Dan Goldberg on the Digging for Gold podcast.

We talk about how I went from working as a mechanic and recording in my parents’ garage to building Podcast Principles, working with over 200 clients, hiring a team, going broke more than once, and figuring out the business one step at a time.

We also get into the reality of entrepreneurship, why most people misunderstand what it takes to build a podcast, the difference between influencer shows and business podcasts, and why networking has been one of the biggest drivers of everything I’ve built.
