Show Notes
Welcome to the 800th episode of The Goal Digger Podcast! Over nearly 8 years, I have interviewed hundreds of business owners in all different industries, taught you countless business strategies, and opened my heart to you during pregnancy, loss, moving, and everything in between. We’ve really lived some life together over the years, haven’t we?
After over 110 MILLION downloads and a whole lot of fun and lessons learned along the way, I felt like this would be an appropriate time to stop, take a look around, and reflect. And no, this isn’t a “goodbye” episode…
The Goal Digger Podcast isn’t going anywhere anytime soon! But you ARE catching me “in my feels” today, because as I reflect on the last 800 episodes, it’s bittersweet to think about how much has changed over the past 8 years.
Today, I want to invite you to reflect AND react WITH me as we listen to the very first episode of the Goal Digger Podcast together. Think of it as a ‘listening party,’ if you will!
Whether you’re hearing this episode for the first time ever or the first time in a long time, just imagine me sitting next to you, listening too. And throughout the episode when we break away from the recording, you’ll hear my raw, real-time thoughts… Some will be sweet and some won’t be pretty, but they’ll all be true to the “me” today, in August of 2024!
I’m excited and already nervous to hit play… Let’s do this together!
