What does it take to show up for 100 episodes, keep it real, and build something that actually means something? In this special milestone episode of The Real Deal with Camille, we flip the script entirely. Instead of me interviewing a guest, email marketing strategist and fellow podcaster Ely Delaney steps in to turn the mic around and ask me all the questions you the listeners have probably been wondering. From the business I’ve rarely talked about on the show, to the behind the scenes chaos of podcasting, to what I’m most excited about next, this episode is a rare and genuine peek behind the curtain.
