The technical thing I learned from this episode: Having your audio transcribed makes creating show notes a lot easier and faster.

Podcasting Pain Point: Recorded this with Zoom.us... and you can tell. I wasn't smart enough at the time to record my end locally, which is weird because I do that when I'm a guest on other's shows. Done is better than perfect.
