Podcasting has ups and downs. If you don't have the right mindset and game plan, you're likely to fail.I recently join Tiphany Kane and David Sais on their podcast and just loved the way the show turned out.

If you're doing it right, and have the right mindset, podcasting will change your life as well.It's storytelling month in the Podcast Mastermind, so I'd also like you to pay close attention to the storytelling in this episode.
