One Year Running a Podcast as an Entrepreneur

Over the past 12 months, I've clocked in 54 episodes of The Podcast Space’s podcast. The journey as a business owner and a podcast strategist has been an insightful, transparent, and imperfect one. I've gleaned what has worked and what hasn't, and in this episode, I’ll share my insights, wins, and pitfalls I encountered - because to work as a strategist for other businesses is one thing, and to do it all myself is a completely different one.

As a podcast strategist, marketing expert, and unofficial cheerleader for impact-driven entrepreneurs, I always seek to uplift your podcast journey – nudging you to pay attention to key indicators and ignore your inner impostors. Having said that, the pertinent question still stands – Is podcasting an effective tool to build your business and online authority?
