info_outlineWhat if your business card could talk? Instead of handing someone a piece of paper, you could get your voice in their ears, tell them a story, and give them a reason to connect with you. That’s exactly what a podcast can do!

A fictitious podcast example is used in this episode. If you’d like to use a podcast as a business card, try the 6-step exercise below.
