Notable Quotes

• So you know, I'm interested in podcasting, because I think it's another great avenue to reach my audience and you know, build more content. And a lot of people don't like to read these days, they'd rather listen. And so I want to give my future audiences here and the ability to consume what I have to say in a different way.
• For me, podcasting, at least recording my voice into a microphone is a lot quicker.
• You don't need some high powered device to do it. Now. There's a lot of podcasters who invest money, they have their own, you know, environment and, and that's all awesome, but I think that intimidates a lot of people. And to get started, I'd say you can even use your iPhone, you don't even need to invest in anything more right.
• So I think having someone like that it requires a monthly expenses, not a lot of money, but it requires someone's time. That's the approach it I don't have the time, I just want to concentrate on the content. 
• And I also realized that if I'm going to have people subscribe to my podcast, I need something exclusive that my other networks don't have.
• I'm trying to maybe blog about my podcast and maximize your social, but really stick to the podcast content. But then when I went broader thought leadership type of content, that's where I blog on maximize social business.
