A global event taken virtually all the way to hitting GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS!

On this week’s episode, I have with me the founder of Podfest Global, Chris Krimitsos, and project manager Andrew Weiss. Podfest is an extended annual event that brings together an international crew of podcasters of all levels to share and enjoy content created for the global podcasting community.

In this episode, Chris and Andrew discuss how Podfest Global all began to where they are today, hitting world records for the largest global virtual event of this kind! Chris and Andrew are all about supporting people through a community, and further explain that treating people right and listening to their audience is how they have grown. Their first virtual global event had about 320 speakers and 5,000 attendees. Now, in 2021, Podfest has over 520 speakers, sessions in 8 different languages, and over 6,000 attendees!

Throughout the episode, you will find out more about their values, goals, and their future plans developing a master class event on monetization and audience growth!

Chris also goes into a little about the book he wrote, ‘Start Ugly: A Timeless Tale about Innovation & Change,’ which can be found on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Start-Ugly-Timeless-Innovation-Change/dp/1734016108
