Are you tempted to start creating content instead of just consuming content? If you are, have we got the podcast for you this week! This recording is from back in December, when Mark recorded his first live podcast in a little AirBnB (the one in the cover art!). As such, the acoustics of the room aren't great, but they're good enough to make the point in our podcast! Anyone can create content with what they have at hand. Please take this as some encouragement from the eConnXn crew that you can create your content as long as you believe!
