Episode in a Tweet: Fear limits us, dampens our dreams, and keeps us playing small. We can transform your life when we find our voice and step up to life’s challenges.

Background: During this week’s episode of Reflect Forward, Melinda Wittstock and I get real about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Melinda shares her enterprising youth, how she lost herself along the way, and why it took getting out of a toxic relationship to find her entrepreneurial passion once again. I love that her grandmother once told her, “You’re so disruptive!” And she proved her right, over and over again.

Melinda shares her journey from being an award-winning content creator for some of the world’s most respected news programs to developing technology platforms that turn content into conversations. Most recently, she founded Podopolo, a podcasting ecosystem that allows content creators to access more in-depth listener data, use AI matching serves to connect with new listeners and market their podcasts more effectively so they can hone their message and grow their audiences.

Melinda and I also go on a spiritual tangent, discussing the conscious journey of leadership and why being in tune with yourself makes you a better human and leader.

I so enjoyed interviewing Melinda, and I hope you get as much out of this episode as I did.
