I’ve been experiencing major FOMO. I’m seeing tons of info for conferences and retreats and it’s just not in the cards for me this year. It can be really hard to get away and spend the money to travel for conferences and such. So how do you meet people and network when you can’t go? In today’s episode, I’m talking about how I put myself out there without traveling.   I also touch on something really important and that is that you have to know yourself. I’m an introvert at heart and sometimes conferences can be overwhelming for me. But that doesn’t mean that my business isn’t growing.   I know some of you won’t agree with this topic but in the end, you have to build a business that works for you. I will do that from home in my comfy chair!   Ready to start launching your podcast? Download my free Podcast Launch Checklist here.   Want to take it a step further?
