Whether you’re out and about or attending a missions event, it’s easy to miss opportunities. But the great new is that it’s not hard to take advantage of them if you do a few simple things.

Here’s what helped me make the most of a recent podcasting event. Even though I was the only faith-based podcaster there, I was able to make some great connections, find potential guests and listeners, and was encouraged because of what happened.

And not only did it encourage me and lead to new connections, I was able to pick up some ideas that I hope to use to improve THIS show.

Listen to discover what worked for me (and a couple of things I got wrong).
