How to Start a Podcast (Even If You Have No Idea What You’re Doing) with Kevin Palmieri | EP 39

They get into why you don’t need fancy equipment, how podcasting actually makes you money (hint: not the way you think), and why just getting started matters more than being perfect. Kevin also shares how to stand out, be memorable, and turn podcasting into real opportunities.
