*Walk me through an episode? Do you know what you’re going to talk about ahead of time? How do you decide when you will get together? What does your tech look like?

Number 1 thing is don’t stress about all the tech stuff. Just jump in and go. You’ll learn and figure things out as you go along, over time learn and grow and improve.
