Celebrating #InternationalPodcastDay
Today is September 30th #internationalpodcastday and I celebrate it by reminding myself why I started podcasting. In any project or work is natural to loose direction or forget the initial motivation, is good to remind yourself what drove you to start and think if our motivations are still aligned.
