Curvists! As I aim to inspire you to pursue your own dreams, I thank you for coming with me on this episode through a milestone in my own journey: my first podcasting convention, Podfest 2017!! Podfest was three equally exhilarating and exhausting days of being completely immersed in my own slice of heaven. I got to mingle with my peers, meet my idols, and experience some very significant, life-altering moments. Through this episode, you will get to meet many of the people who made my experience so special as they share with my why podcasting is their passion and where they are on that journey. Along the way, we will pull out some great nuggets of both inspiration and actionable items to motivate and help YOU on your journey! And, regarding the future of this show, I have made a promise to a podcasting legend that affects you all. I have committed to changing the show's release schedule to the 1st and 15th of every month. Yes, this means fewer episodes; but, it will also mean BETTER episodes. So, this is officially the first release in that new schedule. (I told you I would keep my promise, Glenn!!)
