Imagine chatting with your favorite YouTuber or BookTuber, but on the audio waves!
2 - Founders Talk Podcast
💼 Ready for a laid-back chat with the brains behind businesses and the books they love? We're hanging out with founders, business pros, and maybe an investor or two. Discover how their favorite books are like secret ingredients in their recipe for success. It's not your average business talk; picture a chill book club meeting with a sprinkle of business wisdom. Founders talking to founders – making business a little bookish!
3 - Author Talks Podcast
📖 Jump into the world of writing and books with us. We're having conversations with authors about their latest creations and the magic behind their writing process. It's like sitting down for a cozy chat with your favorite authors – curious, fun, and full of excitement. Readers talking to writers – because every reader has a bit of a writer's spark too!
