Claire Tonti - Why you need to just make the thing

Claire Tonti (@clairetonti) is the CEO of Planet Broadcasting, Host of Just Make The Thing podcast, and sometimes known as Mrs Sunday Movies. The Planet Broadcasting business was one of the first true bootstrapped podcast networks in Australia. Early on, Claire was able to scale out the work she was doing for her co-founders James and Nick (through Mr Sunday Movies & The Weekly Planet), by bringing on a stable of notable local podcasters such as Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen. The inspiration from American brands like Earwolf is clear, and one of the reasons why I wanted to pick her brain. The Planet Broadcasting team are the locals we look up to, and in my opinion, the indie leaders in this game here in Australia. A great episode covering many aspects of the business, including: * Being a wedding singer * How she met Mr Sunday Movies * Claire’s influential father * Deciding when to take the leap * Planet Broadcasting & its business model * Tips for starting a podcast
