The podcast world has become a new trend for this generation as listeners tune into their favorite podcast on the way to work, or during a workout. Influencers around the world use this platform to talk about topics that wouldn’t necessarily be aired on your every day radio station. From #TI to #Oprah, these individuals have found that podcasting is an additional way to let listeners in on their personal opinions on cultural norms. I myself, created a podcast called #CandidConversation to let my listeners have a better taste of real conversations. You’ll hear real conversations about life, my journey to my career and tackling adversity. Among other guest hosts, we share common experiences and give advice on how to face challenges in an authentic way. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/autumn-joi-live-show/id1259618801
