Turning Rejection into a Podcast Business - Jeff Umbro
Jeff Umbro had a successful podcast, but he couldn’t get a job at a podcast company–so he decided to create his own. Jeff is the founder of The Podgolmerate, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts. He went from not getting hired to now running his business with nine full-time employees, representing anywhere from 70 to 80 shows at a time, and having been profitable since 2018. He’s grateful he took the leap of faith but the first couple of years were rough and lessons were learned, like how to hire the right people, figuring out how to make use of his greatest strengths, and creating different streams of revenue. Jeff also discusses working through decision fatigue and delegating tasks–while trying not to delegate as much in his personal life.

Sophie Santos is a One-Woman Show
Sophie Santos was just a kid when she saw Lindsay Lohan in “The Parent Trap” and thought, I can do that. Now she’s an accomplished comedian, writer, and actor, whose one-woman show, “Sophie Santos…is Codependent,” is now playing in Edinburgh, which finds her confronting her personified OCD after a break-up. She talks about getting her feet wet as a student at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade and her first writing job at MTV, the subsequent imposter syndrome that she had to work against and how she manages it to this day, and how she believes leading with your authentic point of view is the best way to make an impact and find your audience. Sophie also wrote a book, “The One You Want to Marry (and other identities I’ve had),” which pushed her to examine her mental health challenges, including the OCD that she now explores in her one-woman show.
