S03 #140 Thought Leadership: start here if you're ready to begin a podcast

Loading player...
We answer all the questions to get you started on your podcasting journey.

Over the years, so many of you have come to me asking, "How do I start my own podcast?". Well, after being on this journey with Solid Gold for over 7 years, I’m here to share what I’ve learned. And in this episode, I sit down with Gavin Kennedy, our trusted partner who has been alongside us every step of the way, to share his incredible wisdom.

Having walked the walk, we can talk the talk — helping you get your podcast up and running faster and better. From the questions you need to ask, to understanding the process, to choosing the best equipment — we’ll break it all down.

But podcasting isn’t just about what you have to say. It’s about who you are as a thought leader and stepping fully into that role.

If you’re ready to start your podcast journey, this is where it begins.
