The BS We Feed Ourselves
As a Host still in her first year, I was a bit insecure at the number of downloads I had. Christine broke down my analytics, pointed out strengths I never knew I had, and made them shine in my Press Kit. I got an immediate YES from this guest's PR Team. I really love the community, the support, and celebrating wins with these amazing Podcast Hosts. I'm also growing my reviews quickly because of her Challenge! Getting 20 in less than 2 weeks.
