Quotes:

“Don't wait any longer to start a podcast, it's time to jump in. There's never been a better time the technology is there.."

“ Think through what you're going to do and how you're going to do it. Be strategic.”

“You got to have a plan and you got to stick to the plan and you got to execute. And again, you want to get through those first 10 to 20 episodes and then you'll really start seeing the fruits of your labor. So stick with it..”

"I would say find things that inspire you and follow those leads."

"Don't underestimate the power of video podcasts"

“Sometimes some more passionate person that's driven is kind of beat out everyone else. And you see the next person to have a million followers and listeners and things like that. So don't wait. Don't sit back and wait. Get out there and do it and try it. Learn from your mistakes, be consistent”
