From Skeptic to Top 5%! How One Lunch Changed Everything…

Ever have that moment when a friend pitches an idea, and you think, "Wait...what? You really want me to do this?" 😅

That was me 3 years ago.

“Scott, are you sure about this?” I asked, trying not to look too doubtful. "There are soooo many podcasts out there already! Is this really how I should spend my time?”

But  S. Scott Mason (cue the photo) was unwavering. Over lunch on a Tuesday—yes, May 4th, 2021, I remember the date like it was yesterday—he convinced me to dive headfirst into the world of podcasting.

Fast forward to now, and oh man... was he right! 🙌

🚀 Last week, the 134th episode of the Stories With Traction podcast launched.

And get this... 🌍 It's been downloaded in 67 countries and just cracked the TOP 5% of podcasts globally! 🤯

I’m beyond blown away. This podcast journey has been incredible, and I owe a massive THANK YOU to a lot of people:  Dan Koval,  ✒️Claire M. Davis🖋️,  S. Scott Mason (of course!),  Jay Edwards,  Erin Geiger, and  Dan Mott. Seriously, without you all, this never would have happened. 

And for those of you who’ve been following along, here are some recent episodes: 

The Climb with  Eric Curtis
Write a Book?! with  Amy Lynch
The Inferiority Complex of Leaders with  Mike Thorne
Storytelling FAQ Episode # 5 with  MICHELLE B GRIFFIN

This is only the beginning! 🎙️ We’ve got more stories to tell, more voices to hear, and a whole lot more traction to gain. 

Bring on the next 134 episodes!

🚀 Onward and upward, my friends! The best is yet to come!
