Tweetable Quotes:
“I really focused on why I was doing it, which was to hear the stories of heroes - amazing women who have had fabulous lives and to talk to them about their experiences with mentorship. I met some very cool women doing this. The conversations were incredible and very emotional.” (16:33) (Marla)
“And I thought about it and realized that podcasting is a natural medium for women. We like to have conversations and we’re really good at it.” (28:08) (Marla)
“We’re looking to partner with companies that are focused on elevating the voices of women in their companies. And I think that there is definitely a lot of opportunity to go beyond the podcasting industry.” (32:35) (Marla)
“The podcast people are the nicest and incredibly collaborative. Yes, everyone says this, but it’s the truth. We all want to help each other. And, I’m not gonna succeed by putting someone else down. I’m gonna succeed when someone else succeeds, and vice versa.” (43:51) (Marla)
“The people who listen to these podcasts are devoted. It’s a niche audience, but they are so devoted to their host. So when a host recommends a product, you better believe that ask will convert. So, I guess my ask would be, ‘Don’t discount us. Count us in. We are growing. We have a lot of powerful women in our network and we’d like to talk to you. And we want to make this mutually beneficial and I think we can.” (51:19) (Marla)
