Happy 300 episodes! It’s been a fun journey and I thought for episode 300, I’d take a break from interviews and share three lessons learned from recording, editing, hosting, and publishing 300 episodes.

In the second half of this episode, you will hear an AI-generated podcast based on my blog in the show notes, so I hope you enjoy listening to some fascinating technology in action.

Thanks for listening, sharing, and supporting the podcast for over 300 weeks, and here's to the next 300 episodes!
