So proud of this exciting achievement!

This past week, I had the incredible privilege of being the Master of Ceremonies for the Podcast Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Podfest Multimedia Expo in Orlando. It was an unforgettable evening celebrating the visionaries and trailblazers who have shaped the podcasting industry. Sharing the stage with legends like Rob Greenlee, Tim Street, Chris Krimitsos, Tom Webster, Jessica Kupferman, George Hrab, Maria Thomas Lou Mongello, and Chris Christensen was truly inspiring. Their contributions remind us all of the transformative power of podcasting to connect, educate, and inspire across the globe. The ceremony wasn’t just about honoring individual achievements—it was a celebration of the podcasting community as a whole. It’s a testament to the creativity, innovation, and impact that podcasting continues to bring to our world. To everyone who has listened, supported, and been part of this journey: thank you. Your passion and encouragement fuel the evolution of this incredible medium. ??

As you may guess, I see and hear and read *a lot* about motivation and manifestation. A LOT. And after all that reading and research and education, I still find that there's no formula, no training, no voodoo magic required to obtain a life of passion and fulfillment. Just take that first step. Any tiny step. Any tiny action. *Anything.* Go ahead. Do it now.
