Ever since I listened to my first podcast four years ago, I have had a deep desire to create one of my own, to interview my peers and predecessors, and learn from them.

Brief Overview

My project is going to be twofold. The first part will consist of creating a 5 episode podcast series. In this series, I will interview young professionals and discuss their path, how they got to where they are, what they are learning and doing to improve daily, and how their expectations lined up with reality.

The second part of this project will be to package all this information, edit and cultivate it, and then market it to the public as a resource to individuals seeking to accelerate their career, learn from those around them, and gain some perspective into the lives of other young professionals.

Final Accomplishments

By the end of this month, I will have a few separate value-adding deliverables.

  1. A podcast series created completely by me.
  2. Documentation of the process I took, the work I put in, and the tools and skills that I learned/developed.
  3. My Google Adwords Certificate.
  4. Facebook Ads Experience.
