We started the podcast in January 2020 to inspire and educate people to pursue a life long learning mindset no matter the path they choose. It took us 2 weeks to release our first episode. We listened to tons of podcasts before we got started.

We release at least once a week but have lately been releasing almost once a day which has increased downloads exponentially. We usually work on the podcast during lunch breaks, nights and weekends. We fund the podcast ourselves but have had sponsorships and we spend about 8 hours a week podcasting.

Yes, we take sponsorships but don't really need it as we do this as a passion project.

We use Anchor, LinkedIn, Google Calendar, Google Email, Google Notes, Zoom, Podpage for our website and social media channels - Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.

LinkedIn and other social media channels plus an email list.

Start and don't worry about audio or production quality, just worry about content.
