76: How to Launch Your Podcast, Grow Your Audience and Monetize Your Passion with Chirsty Haussler

The moment Christy Haussler realized it was time to make the leap and become an entrepreneur, she was in her car, driving to work, listening to podcasts to pass the time. Christy spent hours commuting back and forth to an office for a job that didn't fulfill her, and decided it was finally time for her to make a move and give her own business a try. The first thing she did? Take the first step, and then another and then another.

Today, Christy's company -- Team Podcast -- provides production and strategy for more than 40 shows and produces about 200+ episodes a month. Her business is steadily growing, she lives in a city she's happy to call home and she spends her time doing work she loves.

On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Christy talks about the importance of taking that first step toward your dream, having the right mindset, building and engaging your audience in multiple ways and making the most of your podcast -- beyond money.
