Ready or not, the end of 2024 is quickly approaching, and it was a doozy for a lot of us. With 2025 right around the corner, this is a very natural time for us to reflect and think about what we might want to change.

So tune in to hear more about the importance of taking this time for your own show or business, some highlights from The State of Business Podcasting Report (linked below), and how you can catch up on my top episodes of 2024 (spoiler: also linked below)!
