I’m sharing a conversation I had with Meagan, the host of The Search for the Silver Lining, a kid podcast about Isla who wants to become a girl knight for King Arther. During this conversation I tell Meagan that her podcast is one of our favorites at least 3 different times…I wasn’t trying to fan girl, but it just happened.

Here's what I learned from my chat with Meagan:
- Lean on others, don’t do it all yourself
- Get creative with the connections and assets you have
- Make a shoot for the stars list and work toward it (don’t just let it sit in a drawer)
- Get feedback from knowledgeable podcasters
- Let your passion push you out of your comfort zone
