How I Became My Own Boss - Influencing, Podcasts, Working for Myself

4 years ago, I almost quit podcasting because I felt like I was wasting my time and no one was listening. Two weeks later, I had an idea to promote my podcast on TikTok, and that one video completely changed everything. I went from 200 listens per week to charting number 1 in podcasts on Spotify and Apple.

In this episode, I’m taking you guys behind the scenes of how I went from working a job I didn’t love to quitting, becoming my own boss, starting Trying Not to Care, and eventually turning social media and podcasting into my full-time job. I’m talking about the mistakes I made, what I wish I knew sooner, how I started making money as a creator, and what actually helped me grow.

If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, growing on social media, or trying to turn something you love into a career, this episode is is filled with some advice that I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. 🎙️✨📸
