Thinking about launching a podcast show? You’ll want to take notes on today’s case study. My friend Dana Snyder is joining me to walk us through her creative launch plan that debuted podcast, Missions to Movements, at the #29 spot on the marketing podcast charts - all on a scrappy $800 budget. Dana is the founder of Positive Equation, a company transforming nonprofits’ online donor experiences with innovative digital marketing solutions. Dana has worked with brands like American Idol, Sports Illustrated, and the Honest Company, as well as leading nonprofits like Movember, Dress for Success and more. I’m excited for some of you to meet Dana this month at our August 18th dinner & live panel in Oregon! If you’re local, head to ellenyin.com/lets-get-visible for event details and tickets.

By the way, I’m super bummed because I forgot to connect my microphone when we recorded this interview, so a heads up my sound may not be up to its usual standard. Thank you in advance for your understanding. The good news is, I recorded this in Zencastr so their software helps my built-in desktop mic still sound better than it should! This is your encouragement today that tech errors happen to everyone, so don’t let imperfect work stop you from making an impact.
