Potential Topics

Since I’m definitely NOT an expert in most of these areas, I plan to bring in people who ARE EXPERTS to talk about topics that will be of interest for you, my listeners. We will be learning together.

Since I hope that this podcast will be listened to nationally, there is no need to be concerned about where these experts are located. Most of our topics can be applied anywhere.

So, If you know of any “experts” who would be interested in talking on a podcast episode (for exposure, but not compensation), please feel free to have them reach out to me. There is a “Contact Me” page on this website to put them in touch with me.
