0:00.0	treat it like a real launch because your podcast is exactly that. Like launching a podcast is a real
0:09.1	launch and you want to think through it thoughtfully so that you can get that momentum that will
0:13.8	not only boost your morale in the whole process, but will get people excited to subscribe
0:20.0	and share the show. I'm Jenna Cudger,
0:23.5	your host of the Gold Digger podcast. I escaped the corporate world at the age of 23 with nothing
0:29.1	more than a $300 camera from Craigslist and a dream. Now I'm running a seven-figure online business
0:35.2	that feels even better than it looks, all from my house
0:38.3	in small town, Minnesota with my family. Here, we value time as our currency. We mix the woo
0:44.9	and the work, and we are in the pursuit of building businesses that give us the freedom to live
0:49.8	lives that we love. I've always loved turning big goals into reality, and I'm here to help you do the
0:55.7	same. This isn't just a peek behind the curtain. Come along with me and my guests as we tear the
1:00.9	whole curtain down. Every week we tackle practical, no-fluff marketing strategies and host
1:06.4	honest discussions on what works and what doesn't. Join me and my expert guest for actionable insights
1:12.7	to help you grow your dream business with confidence. Pull up a seat and get ready to be
1:17.8	challenged, inspired, and empowered. This is the Gold Digger podcast. If you've been telling
1:25.1	yourself that it is too late to start a podcast or that the podcasting
1:28.6	space is too crowded, I am here to lovingly call you out. The truth is, there has never been a
1:35.5	better time to start a podcast. The industry is booming. Listener numbers are climbing and podcasting
1:42.6	is one of the only platforms where you get someone's
1:45.1	full attention and you get to enter their life wherever they're at, whether they're on a walk,
1:50.1	doing the dishes, driving to the grocery store. And let me tell you, there is still plenty of room
1:54.9	for fresh, specific, binge-worthy shows. Now, here's the twist. It's kind of a hot take.
