SUMmaRY
As you probably know, podcasting has been on an upward trajectory for years, and even more so now that many of us are stuck at home. Many are thinking, “Why not start a podcast now?” and/or, “I could be a guest on others’ podcasts during this time!”
Those may be good ideas for you...but make sure you know what you’re signing up for. And don’t jump in before you understand what it means to be a good host or a gracious podcast guest.
India and Erica have been podcasting for over a year now. They share how their podcasts have boosted their sphere of influence, and they reveal some of the surprises they encountered along the way. You’ll learn that there are many different ways to podcast and that the price in time and dollars will vary depending on your goals. If you’ve ever thought about starting or being on a podcast, you don’t want to miss this one.
Podcasting is a relationship involving the host, the audience, and the guest. Relationships — at least the good ones —are reciprocal.

Quotes
“Conversation is a catalyst. It does things. When you’re at a point that conversation is the only thing you have to keep your connection, it’s real.” – Erica
“Being able to experiment gives you data. Data informs educated decisions instead of emotional decisions, but if we don’t try anything, we’re just working with what we’ve always done.” – India
“Time might not be truly money, but time is a form of currency. It is something that is spendable, savable, and wasteable.” – Erica
