Okay, people welcome back to the Boostley podcast. This is the podcast that gives hosts the tools, the tactics, the training, and most importantly the confidence so you can go out there and get yourselves more direct bookings.

We do a mini series on this podcast where we dive behind a successful and interesting host and sometimes we welcome them back as well to give us an update and that's exactly what we're doing today.

We've got the amazing Josh Goldstein. He is all the way from
