Women Who Podcast - How to start, run and grow your podcast

In this episode Alison Fraser talks with Emmy nominated journalist Jennifer Rogers Markwell on working as a journalist and how business owners can help themselves by helping those in the media.

Jennifer changed gears in her television career when she realized the need to help women and their finances. It started at home for Jennifer after her grandfather passed away and she wanted to help her grandmother make sense of investing.

Now she regularly hosts educational workshops to empower women to take charge of their investments and anchors the "Platinum Talks Wealth" Podcast.
