There are a lot of podcasts out there, hopefully, you find the Tech Smart Boss podcast as one of the better ones (I mean at least put me on the right side of the bell curve).
One question that I get a lot is how to start a podcast. There's a belief that you have to be a real techie combined with some magic. But it's not really that tough and unless you let perfection be the enemy of progress.
In this episode, I go over 7 steps (which could easily have been 21 but I compressed it to 7) so that you can start your own podcast. After listening to this episode, you will have no reason not to do it (other than general procrastination and perfectionist themes that run in us Tech Smart Boss phenotypes).
