    Tweetable Quotes"I started my podcast, the one that I currently have that's now called 'We're All in This Together,' back in 2016. The plan was just to do some interviews for my book. Once I was done researching for the book, I was going to be done with the podcast. But I got done writing the book, and I was still liking the podcast and enjoying the conversations, so I just kept going with it.""I ended up choosing to go to Stanford even though I was scared. It was such a good decision for me because what I learned when I got there was that it was better to be in an environment where I was a bit intimidated and felt like the players were even better around me because it forced me to step up.""For me, it's not a huge money maker or a big marketing funnel. It's just something that I like doing, I feel like I'm good at, and I think it reaches some people. It gives me a platform to share ideas, interview interesting people, and talk about topics that matter to me. It's an extension of my larger brand and a way to connect with my audience."Resources Mentioned
