If you’re into podcasting, this episode is for you! In this episode, I am talking with Angel Yarde all about podcasting. Angel launched a successful entrepreneurial podcast with her co-host last year called Heart and Hustle. With this being so new to me, and podcasting becoming such a fun way for people to have a new outlet, I wanted to talk to Angel about all things podcasting. It was my hopes that between the two of us, you’ll know the basics of what it takes to start a podcast, and get some inspiration for your own if you’re thinking about starting one. At the very least, you’ll get a behind the scenes look into how podcasts are created, hear some fun stories, and get to learn a little more about two business owners going after some of their passion projects. Enjoy!

topics we cover:

— How Angel started designing, and was 150% self-taught. She now owns TWO businesses, as well as the podcast, and she shares about this journey.
— What you need to plan before you start a podcast
— Differentiating a podcast from what was out there
— Getting into speaking gigs
— The differences between podcasting solo or with a co-host
— Splitting the duties and working with a co-host
— The different things you need to pay for to start a podcast, and what each of us did for our podcasts
— Tips and tricks for launching your podcast
— Hiring out your editing for podcasts
— The time that podcasting takes
