My guest today is Danny Miranda. Danny is best known as the host of The Danny Miranda Podcast. Danny started his podcast about seven months ago and has hosted nearly 100 guests. He's moving at blistering speed as a podcaster and improving tremendously along the way.
In this episode, Danny and I had an in depth discussion on the benefits of meditation, journaling, and no technology retreats. We also spent the majority of the conversation discussing podcasting. We covered everything from guest outreach to the best ways to research and prep for a guest. Danny also shared his biggest podcasting mistake and his favorite interviewers to study. This is a great episode for anyone interested in hosting a podcast.
