3 Takeaways from the Empowered Podcasting Conference in Charlotte

I went to the Empowered Podcasting Conference in Charlotte without my usual conference crew — and almost talked myself out of it.

In this episode, I share three takeaways that apply to any side hustler, not just podcasters: why going solo to events builds the connections that keep burnout away, why podcasters (and bloggers) who stay single-platform are setting themselves up to get blindsided, and why community was never about the platform — it's about the people who feel connected to you. Plus two conference quotes I'm still thinking about: one on why "I'm not creative" is really "I'm scared," and Dave Jackson's take on why attention spans aren't the real problem with your content.
