We're doing the unthinkable. We're saying goodbye to our beloved podcast. Our baby and the whole reason we started our business. But that's not the end of our podcasting endeavors. We grew out f our podcast the same way our toddler grew out of her baby shoes.   😢.  Check out CONTENT JEFE hereWe realized that our thing is not only podcasting. We're full-time content creators and business owners. Also, our skill set has expanded beyond podcasting. We also realize that our audience, students, and our community of podskis are looking for help to reach their next level.  Like us, many of our podkis turned their podcast into a business. Whatever their next level means for them. It can be introducing video in their content production,  creating content that helps them generate leads and sales for their business, or how to be in the new emerging social media platforms and features. We want to help with what we know. But like I said, this is just the end of a chapter in our lives and the beginning of a new one.  We say goodbye to Pod Sound School Podcast and welcome Content Jefe Podcast by the Pod Sound School. Content Jefe is a podcast where we'll share our best skills and tips to have you create content like a jefe (boss). We're always trying new things and testing the boundaries of our creativity so that Content Jefe will have a lot of storytelling and behind the scenes of what we do as a married couple with three kids, content creators, and business owners. We'll archive the Pod Sound School episodes as Season One for you to binge on the great content we've put out over the years. We're so freaking excited about our new podcast. I hope you're too. To all of our podskis and content jefes ❤️Support the show
