Read MoreWelcome to the 200th episode! Just over 5 years ago I recorded the first episode and I could of never envisaged this is where we would be right now. I have spent this episode with the roles reversed and Holly interviewing me with all your questions.
I was a nervous wreck recording that first episode and hated the sound of my own voice. I thought why would anyone listen to me anyway. But that first episode was dedicated to a friend of mine who had passed away and was really what gave me the push to just go for it.
The industry was a very different place at that time and I did not feel welcomed. We hope that this podcast as well as KOMPAK has helped flip that and that no one ever has to feel that way.
