Hey Reader, I'm coming to you from Charlotte this morning. I'm getting ready to speak at the Empowered Podcasting Conference. (more to come on that next week) 🤗 But let's get into why I'm hitting your inbox today... Last month I dropped an uncut solo podcast. But I never expected what happened next. The outpouring of gratitude, support, and love from the people who listened blew me away. And I understand why. It’s because it was uncut. It was transparent. It was emotional. It was more human...
