I knew when I started this storytelling journey that I didn’t want to focus solely on me and the business in Jamaica. While I’m sure it’s interesting to many people, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t presenting it like a path that just anybody can take. I also don’t have it all figured out, so wanted to selfishly build something that would allow me to learn alongside you as listeners.
However, I do know that my voice is important here too (I’m getting comfortable with that) so we’re launching with a solo episode ☺️
The Meaningful Shift is OFFICIALLY LIVE — Listen now on Apple and Spotify.
To celebrate the launch, I’m joining Hiwote LIVE to talk about what it really took to bring this show to life. If you’re curious about the journey OR you’ve been thinking about starting your own podcast, but feel a resistance… join us!
