There are close to 700,000 active podcasts live on iTunes today and the number increases every week. Some shows are designed to sell coaching programs, promote books or services, others live shows, or merchandise. There isn't anything wrong with that - but here's an idea I'd like to plant: what if your podcast was more than a lead magnet? What if it was your means to enact change around the world? What if... your podcast was a vehicle for activism?

Today we're exploring the impact a podcast can have on a single person and the change it can inspire. Think back - have you ever listened to a podcast episode and it somehow reached right down into your core and resonated? Maybe you had emotional release (read: crying mess at the bottom of the shower), or you were completely inspired by an idea it sparked in you, or maybe it lead to a big change in your life.

Whichever way you dice it, a podcast is an extremely personal and intimate form of content, and we can choose to be leaders and activists.
