The BIG 50...

No, not my age...

50 podcast episodes..and they say most podcasts don't make it past 10.

I haven't been the most consistent.

Some months went by with no single episode recorded.

But, there was no giving up.

Finally, something clicked. It was as if I found my voice and got clear on who and what the podcast was for and about.

A huge "THANK YOU" to the first 50 guests. Such amazing people with their own stories of not giving up and how that has led them to their success today.

Cheers to the next 50 episodes and the 50 new guests that will impact the world with their story on RISE UP: The Show.
