You've got SO MUCH to do, creative. But have you neglected one thing that could make everything easier? In other words, have you started your podcast? If you haven’t, you’re missing a golden opportunity. Despite the surge of podcast popularity, most creatives still are not particularly excited about creating their own podcasts. They’ve heard it’s hard, or that the market is saturated, or that it won’t really add anything to their careers. All of those reasons are simply misconceptions and excuses. In this episode, we reveal some of the startling statistics that reveal how wide-open the podcasting market is for creatives, and why you, and every other artist , should be taking advantage of this still-growing medium to reach the people you are called to reach.
