The idea for this journal came from my own needs. Even though I have the honor to host these incredible guests and listen to them firsthand, it’s when I re-listen that I learn even more and want to take notes.Â
What our guests share is pure gold for communicators and we need to have a place to track what we’re learning and recall who we learned it from. Download your podcast journal --->.
