Damona Hoffman on Dating and Podcasting

Feed drop time! We’re on a break from the show as we prepare for SquadCast's New Studio and Backstage and work on revamping the SquadCast podcast. So, we’re bringing you carefully curated feed drops from some of our favorite SquadCasters.

This week, we're resharing an episode that we released last year -- a conversation between Zach, Rock, and Damona Hoffman.

Here's the episode description:
We’re so excited to share this episode of Between Two Mics featuring Damona Hoffman. Listen in as we discuss the similarities between dating and podcasting. Hint: you’ve got to market yourself when dating just as you market your podcast. Damona has been working in media for a while and has learned some really valuable lessons along the way. Each stage of her career has led to another opportunity. She sees her podcast, Dates & Mates, as a way of establishing herself as an expert in the field, and has used it to propel her vision as a dating coach.

Every time Damona shows up for a media appearance, she is VERY prepared. She then goes back and rewatches the tape to see how she can improve. She is committed to being the best guest she can be. Those guest appearances lead to more. Listen in to learn how to make this a reality for you as a podcaster!
