What do you do when a dream podcast opportunity comes knocking… and the universe throws every travel disaster at you to stop it?

In this week’s episode of On Your Terms®, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes (and in-the-air) chaos that nearly kept me from being interviewed by Nathan Barry on the Nathan Barry Show. From flight fiascos and airport sprints to finally stepping inside Kit's new Chicago studio—this episode is part travel diary, part entrepreneur pep talk.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to do press while launching a book, or just love a good behind-the-scenes adventure with a few marketing and mindset nuggets sprinkled in, this one’s for you.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

  • The wild travel journey that almost made me miss my biggest podcast interview yet
  • What it’s like inside Kit’s brand-new Chicago studio (it’s next-level!)
  • How I stay productive and grounded even when things go off the rails
  • My thoughts on what top-tier podcast producers do differently—and what we can learn from them
  • A sneak peek at how I’m marketing my new book and building an audience beyond social media
