Hey, it's your host Ellen Yin. Welcome back to Cubicle to CEO, the podcast where we ask successful founders the business questions you can't google. Today's bonus episode is a replay of my guest appearance on MetriTalks, a monthly roundtable series with creators and marketing experts hosted by Metricool, our favorite one stop shop for social media management. This MetriTalk focused on all things launching, producing and growing a podcast show. Our conversation was moderated by Anniston Ward, who you may remember from her previous appearance on our show and episode 183. "Access secret social media analytics you've never seen before with Metricool" I'll link that below in the show notes. We were also joined by fellow podcast hosts Latasha James of the Freelance Friday Podcast.

Yeah, so I host the Freelance Friday pPodcast. And it really is just a show for freelancers of all kinds, social media managers, designers, coaches, consultants, creators, anyone to listen in and just learn kind of what's going on in the social media industry, how they can better market their business and run their businesses more efficiently.

Amazing. Hello, everyone. I'm Ellen Yin, I'm the host of Cubicle to CEO. We are a business and entrepreneurship podcast where we ask top founders, the business questions you can't google so everything we do is through the lens of financial transparency. So each week, we bring on a CEO or a founder who shares a real time case study in their own business, and shares what strategies they're using to grow their revenue, the financial data around that. So if you're looking for something a little bit deeper than, you know, someone's backstory, our podcast is a great resource for that.

Amazing. So when did you both launch your podcast? And what did kind of the first few weeks or months look like?

Yeah, I launched my podcast, I think it was back in 2018. It actually started as a YouTube series for me. So I have a YouTube channel as well, where I talk about social media entrepreneurship, things like that. And actually, at the time, back in 2018, I was just doing a lot of logging, I was still working a corporate job. So definitely relate to Cubicle to CEO, for sure. I was still in that world just kind of side hustling and taking on freelance gigs here and there. And so I started a series on YouTube. And people loved it, I was getting so much more engagement than any of my other content.
