The lessons I’ve learned from running a successful podcast

As I fast approach my 300th episode, I wanted to share my reflections, insights and top tips on podcasting. In this episode I share the do's and don'ts of podcasting and the things I would do differently, with the gift of hindsight.

Now today we are actually on episode 296. Like that kind of blows my mind a little bit that I've done 296 episodes of the podcast.
