A look back on 2019

Today, I take a look at back at some failures and successes from this year and share what’s ahead for 2020. It’s been a fun year and I’ve enjoyed sharing all of my experiences from the many projects I’ve worked on.

If you’re new to the podcast, below is a roadmap of the show:

Seasons 1 – 5 (2015 – 2018):

• Episodes 1 – 201: The legacy episodes and past seasons are interviews with some of today’s most inspiring business leaders, entrepreneurs, and artists.

Season 6 (2019):

• Episodes 202 – 221: I cover starting a business on Poshmark and some best practices and do’s and don’t’s to build a successful online business.
• Episodes 222 – 255: I cover writing a book, time management, getting it edited, and published.
• Episodes 256 – 261: I cover creating a coloring book (even if you don’t know how to draw).
• Episodes 262 – 271: I cover launching a podcast, including the importance of an exit strategy, picking a niche and topic, the technical aspects (recording, editing), getting guests, and building arcs into your show.

What’s next for Moving Forward

Good question - I don’t know! I will be back for season 7, starting on Thursday, January 16th, 2020. Over the next few weeks, I will be decompressing, enjoying some time away and thinking about what I would like to do for next season.
