Summary
Many episodes have touched on what made Danielle originally come to Adam with the idea of starting a podcast. But never have they really gone into detail about what that night was like, what made her come up with the idea, and the events that led to them to FINALLY releasing the first episode. With zero experience and no qualifications, what made the two of them think this would ever work is completely crazy. Yet, they did it anyway. Following the release of the episode, more secrets were revealed and they had yet to really hit rock bottom. And now they had a business to think about on top of everything else. This episode uncovers all of the anxiety, bravery, fights, and secrets behind the start of the podcast, community, and brand. If you've ever considered a new venture but have no idea how to actually go through with it, this episode is a "must listen."
