EP. 12: Creating Community Through Podcast - Founder of Go Wildcast

Season 1 · Episode 12

Wednesday, July 14, 2021 • Duration 38:51

When Madison was working behind the scenes producing podcasts for other people, she spotted a big problem that she wanted to solve.

She wanted to make it easier for Podcast hosts to connect with their ideal guests. A simple platform to literally just connect people together. That's it. . . seems simple right??!

Well, not exactly. Madison didn't have a background in starting a tech company, but one thing she did have was the grit, mindset and passion to 'figure it out' along the way. And she did just that.

FUN FACT: I actually connected with Madison using the platform she created. How awesome is that.

But why PODCASTS? Well, Podcasts are gaining traction more than any other form of media consumption today! More people are listening while driving, hiking cooking, etc. This gives you a great opportunity to get in the ears of your potential donors, follows or community members.

BUT HOW DO YOU START A PODCAST?

Well, don't you worry, Madison will dive into that as well. Plus if you do start a podcast, she's already created an amazing platform for you to find awesome guests.
