| 0:00.0 | I've thought about so many different ways to commemorate this special anniversary and decided |
| 0:09.3 | that I would share 10 of the highlights of my first decade as a podcaster. |
| 0:16.5 | I say first decade because I love podcasting and all the ways it has enriched my life and fulfilled |
| 0:25.8 | my childhood dream of having a talk radio show. Before I share my highlights, let's take a short walk |
| 0:33.4 | down memory lane as to how I got started. My husband Mark and I were nearly three years into |
| 0:40.8 | our startup SaaS company, which is software as a service, and our dreams of marrying my marketing |

| 1:43.9 | dedicated to women entrepreneurs. So I decided to launch one. |
| 1:49.7 | I chose to do this because I really needed something just for me. It was so frustrating to be |
| 1:56.0 | struggling with our new business and I found having a business partner challenging, |
| 2:00.2 | especially when we were also |
| 2:01.8 | life partners. Now, as it turns out with most great ideas, there were a few other amazing women |
| 2:09.0 | who also launched shows for women entrepreneurs around the same time, namely Jessica Kufferman |
| 2:15.0 | who had Lady Business Radio and Katie Kremitzos who launched Business Women Rock, |
