020 | The Twenty-Something Experience & Starting a Podcast w/ Ama Appiah

Listen Later

If only there was a guidebook for your 20s... but Ama's podcast comes pretty close! In this episode, I got to talk (and laugh a lot) with Ama Appiah, the creator of The Bonnet Talks podcast (and fellow ARMY), about what she's learned through interviewing tons of people around the world about the twenty-something experience. On this episode we talked about:

  • how she grew a One Direction update account to 67,000 followers, an international team, and followers like iHeartRadio and Yahoo News UK (1:52)
  • studying communications, becoming university president, and writing her own story in college (7:22)
  • how a master's program differs from a bachelor's (11:20)
  • starting a podcast to encourage conversations about the twenty-something experience (13:48)
  • hurdles and challenges of starting a podcast (19:16)
  • common threads that tie the interviews together (22:32)
  • how to find and reach out to podcast guests (30:07)
  • falling down the BTS rabbit hole and becoming an ARMY (35:58)
  • Ama's advice for listeners in their 20s (49:14)
  • Ama's favorite Taylor Swift quote (50:24)
