"Perfection is not the goal. It's not the goal at all. I'm always learning new things about these settings, because when I first started, there was a particular distributor of podcasting that I later learned was kind of predatory. So it's like there's an evolution of learning." Andréa Spearman
Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Andréa Spearman as they explore how to build authentic community connections without waiting for perfection. Discover why starting where you are, crackling audio and all, can create more impact than polished content ever could.
