What People Are Saying:

Your program, and starting my podcast elevated me and gave me more confidence so I knew, when it was time after those six weeks and you say, okay. On this day, you're going to launch. I started having butterflies, like back when I was playing ball I had the same type of butterflies. When I launched, it wasn't like anxiety. It was like nervous good energy. Like seeing something that's going to be powerful.

Alex Molden

I’m so thankful for the Podcast Accelerator. Not only for how professional, fast, and fun it all was while living a very busy life. But also for being supportive, honest, positive, and for creating an unexpected community. Seriously, I’ve had a lot of coaches… a lot. And Michelle and Ginni are great ones!

Erin Mielzynski

Joining the PA gave me comfort in the fact that every week we would check in and support each other in our progress, be a sounding board for our ideas, and be held lovingly accountable by the leadership of Ginni and Michelle. Creating a podcast and committing to all it requires felt beyond intimidating but now that I'm up and running everywhere pods play, I truly couldn't imagine getting here without the PA.
