You Must Own Your Own Domain… Goodbye, Todd Cochrane.
There are many ways to podcast. In fact, probably too many to list inside of this program, but we're gonna try.
You see, there's one way that you as a podcaster should consider podcasting. The answer, ownyourown.com. Own the domain. Yeah. These were the silver gilded words of one Todd Cochran, who, unfortunately, as of yesterday, has died.
It's not every day that you can get Mike Wilkerson to be speechless and unfortunately - Todd's unexpected death gets you a front row seat to learn more about what he and Bryan appreciate and foster in a world that now doesn't include Todd Cochrane.
We'll share all of that and more inside this episode of the Podcast Gauntlet where we Throw-Down, Discuss, Rise & Shine in Podcasting!
The ultimate success for every podcaster – is FEEDBACK! Be sure to take just a few minutes to tell the hosts of this podcast what YOU think over at Apple Podcasts! It takes only a few minutes but helps the hosts of this program pave the way to future greatness!
Not an Apple Podcasts user? No problem! Be sure to check out any of the other many growing podcast directories online to find this and many other podcasts via The Podcaster Matrix!
