Give a warm welcome to this week's guest Sarah Mcdowell! Sarah works as the SEO Manager at podcast management and monetization platform, Captivate, as well as host of her own podcast SEO Mindset.

Realizing the common struggles faced by SEO professionals, such as impostor syndrome, burnout, and self-doubt, Sarah and her co-host Tazmin Suleman saw an opportunity to create a platform for open and honest conversations.
