Podcast Production School

Becoming Internet Famous is a podcast centered around our journey of bringing the Podcast Assist brand from idea to 7-figure business.

Join us – Gina Horkey, Hailey Thomas & Melanie Scroggins – as we take you through the entire process (beginning after the creation of our course, Podcast Assist), launching a podcast to share our progress and providing a case study for our students while we’re at it.

It might take us a bit of time, but we're confident we can get there. And we figured it'd be one heckuva fun journey for you to tag along on! We're excited... are you?
