Authentic Communication with Adria Firestone

Listeners to Leads

With video becoming such an important medium in podcasting, we have to consider how we are communicating not just with our audience, but our guests during interviews. How is communicating via camera different than a face-to-face conversation? How do we open ourselves up for authentic conversations and genuine connection when using a medium that can distort authenticity and make other people feel distant? Adria Firestone is here today to discuss all this and more. This week, episode 136 of Listeners to Leads is about authentic communication with your audience and podcast guests!
