🌴154. What did you obsess over at 13?

Today’s episode is a fun personal reflection—and a bit of a public declaration.I was talking to mates about the kind of work that really lights us up. For me, it’s this—talking into a microphone. Podcasting. Sharing ideas. Creating connection through voice.What’s funny is that I just made the connection to my teenage obsession with radio—specifically, B105’s Hot 30 Countdown with Stuy and Zoe. My best friend Andrea and I were on air at least 3–5 nights a week (shoutout segment, anyone?). I even won a national treasure hunt and flew to Sydney thanks to that show.All this time, I’ve been podcasting and building a business off the back of it without realizing—I’ve basically been doing the grown-up version of what 13-year-old me loved most.In this episode:I share my Hot 30 radio obsession (and how it landed me a gold sovereign)Why podcasting feels effortless—and how it helps me build trust at scaleHow organizations can use private podcasts to onboard, engage, and connectMy public challenge: Should I try to get a regular radio segment?And for you?
