Launching a brand new podcast today is much different compared to the 2010s. Because of the development of the industry, the rise in tools to assist the independent podcaster and mindset shifts in the space; podcasts have gone from simply being a fun side project to having the ability to generate revenue for your business. However, creating an impact with your show and growing your business depends largely on the relationships you create with other podcast hosts, your guests, and your audience. Tabatha Thorell is here this week to talk about her relationship-focused approach to her new podcast, being vulnerable to connect with your audience, and more!
