As we record this episode in PODFEST Expo, it's so humbling to look back and appreciate how far we've come. Kendra and I started out as online connections on Clubhouse and Instagram. We never even thought we'll be doing this podcast together! And that's how amazing podcasting is. It brings people together. It builds a strong community.

In this episode, we discussed the different things you need to know as a new podcaster:
1. It is not that hard to get started. You can start with a mic and your air pods.
2. There are free tools online that you can use.
3. Get atleast 3 episodes ready to go.
4. Don't try to make it perfect. Overpolished may sound less authentic.
5. What can you talk about? You can repurpose your website, vlogs, social media content, and many others for your podcast.
6. You need to be consistent with your podcast. It doesn't matter if you do it weekly, bimonthly, or monthly, as long as you'll be consistent.
7. Just get started. Know what you are capable of doing consistently.
8. Know your audience. Do a test.
9. If you don't experience the cringe-worthy stuff then you will not be able to get past the "early stages" of podcasting.

Podcasting is an amazing opportunity for you to grow yourself, your community, and your business. So if you've been wanting to start your podcast, listen to this month's episode of Business Bestie's and learn everything you need to kick-off your podcasting journey.
