What will you do when your dream career doesn’t happen the way you planned? For Shannon Hinderberger, paving your own path leads to new opportunities for success.

With 20 years of experience in the digital marketing industry, Shannon has overcome challenges along the way. She started working for a broadcasting company in 1998, setting her sights on becoming a news broadcaster. But with the TV business’ rigid and archaic standards, Shannon had to redirect her career path. As media and technology innovated, Shannon found a way to gain expertise in new platforms.

She launched her own digital marketing business in 2017. As a social media coach and strategist, she now helps people take great leaps in digital media. She believes confidence is a key factor in the growth of your business, professional career, and passionate endeavor. As digital media continues to evolve with new trends and platforms, confidence and consistency will help you stand out.

There is one rule podcasters and business owners live by. Be different.

The worst thing you can do is try to mimic someone. You may feel like you're too different and people won't understand, but that differentiation is what magnetizes people to you.

Jeremy Enns runs a great podcast agency and the Podcast Marketing Academy. He and I go deep on why differentiation is important and how to identify / play to your strengths.

We also talk a lot about money, more specifically, how your podcast can start making you money today.
