Kategorie:

Have you ever thought about your ideal role and approached the company to create it for you? Well, that’s what Valentina Kaledina - Director of Business Development at Castbox did. Having had a career spanning journalism and headhunting, Valentina found her true passion in podcasting, and is now a prominent figure in the industry. She runs key markets for Castbox - a podcast platform which has revolutionised the way we discover new podcasts. Valentina and I share some similarities, both having grown up in the former Soviet Union and having experienced running executive search businesses. We talk about taking professional risks and challenges, like building a new career from scratch and creating your own role. As a podcaster, I (of course) had to ask Valentina for some tips! We talk about: - What makes an excellent podcast - Starting your podcasting journey - Understanding your audience - Monetising your podcast - The future of the industry What I admired most about Valentina was her entrepreneurial spirit. She is a woman who recognised her skills and interests, and wasn’t afraid to create her own role that aligned with them. Whether you're a seasoned podcaster or just starting out, if you’re keen to find your niche, or whether you’re inclined towards entrepreneurship, this episode is for you!
