Exceptional Highlights:

• A podcast should represent you and retain its flavor. Certain fillers in casual conversations are intentionally left out. And in professional settings, 100% clean is the standard.
• Credentials are not necessary. Working with beginners can work out as long as they provide sample edits to showcase their potential and capabilities.
• Hiring to support you means delegating 20% of the work while achieving 80% of the results.
