In this episode, I sat down with Chris Hood—keynote speaker, bestselling author, and digital strategist—to dig into his podcasting journey and how it connects to his work in business and technology. We chatted about the realities of producing a podcast (spoiler: it’s harder than it looks!), the impact on building a personal brand, and the ongoing debate between sticking with audio or diving into video. Chris shared honest behind-the-scenes stories, including some wild guest moments and the nuts and bolts of his creative process. What I hope you take away? Podcasting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about connection, growth, and sharing ideas with the world. Whether you’re a podcaster or just thinking about starting, I hope this episode sparks some inspiration and reminds you that every story matters.
