What’s something you never expected about podcasting? What have you learned that surprised you?
I never thought I would be able to get my name out there especially during a pandemic. I was super nervous about starting my career as a motivational speaker and Autism advocate. But now that I have been featured on 100+ podcasts, New York City Times Square, Australia TV, it seems like anything is possible. My mom has always said skys the limit and now I show up on the first page of Google for my name.
What is the first piece of advice you would give to anyone inspired to start podcasting?
If anyone wants to start podcasting make sure you set a realistic publishing schedule. I knew once I started a podcast I knew I was only going to be able to do it once or twice a month so I decided to publish only monthly with an occasional extra episode.
And, finally, are your proud of what you’re accomplishing with your podcast? Is it worth the effort?
I am totally proud of my accomplishments because at the begining of the Pandemic I was thinking to myself “well how am I going to spread my name and message now?” Few months later my podcast was launched its has been listened in 9+ countries, played over 2400 times and has over hundreds of subscribers.
