Here’s How I created my Podcast

I have always been intimidated and jealous of people who are super confident online and able to set up their own podcast and vlog.

Are you a Rockstar?

Why did you ask? Might be someone's response. But that's actually the question I saw when I was submitting my applications as a Virtual Assistant. I guess it's a Real Estate term.
