I pursued a Communications degree in undergrad and had a number of internships for major companies, but I graduated not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quest to determine how best to combine my interests and skills would continue for most of my life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer of 2015 when I first learned about podcasts things started to take shape. I started contemplating launching my own, and in June 2016 I did just that! I could have never imagined I would be here with Side Hustle Pro a little over three years later. In this episode, I explain how podcasting has allowed me to see how I can use my voice and my experiences to impact others for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen on <a href=\"http:\/\/sidehustlepro.co\/Podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sidehustlepro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Soundcloud<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/side-hustle-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Stitcher<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Spotify<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>Links mentioned in this episode<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sidehustlepro.lpages.co\/sixbulletsaturdays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Side Hustle Pro Newsletter<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sidehustlepro.lpages.co\/your-first-1000-downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Podcast Moguls<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mlt.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT)<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): <a href=\"http:\/\/sidehustlepro.libsyn.com\/rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">http:\/\/sidehustlepro.libsyn.com\/rss<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Announcements<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Grow Your Brand Through Podcasting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join me THIS THURSDAY, November 14 at 8:00 PM EST to learn how to stand out as a podcaster, how to market your podcast and so much more.
