Hey guys, you're listening to the Big Conversations podcast. I'm your host, Haley Hoffman

Smith. I'm an entrepreneur, a best-selling author, and a Forbes most influential speaker.

You're in the right place if you're ready to step into the bigger life that you were destined for

because we're about to get real on how to do so. So let's get started with today's big

conversation.

Hey friends and welcome back to big conversations.

This episode is the last episode of season one, which has been all about how tos.

I wanted to give you guys a roadmap for things that I've done from starting a

There's things you want to teach other people. And I just want to say right off the bat that there's this idea that the podcast world is saturated and that everyone and their mother has a podcast,

but that's not necessarily true. And if you're feeling called to start a podcast, you absolutely
