In this episode, I share a conversation from when I joined Rich Aguila on the Private Practice Practically Podcast. We talk about my journey as a therapist and how the idea for Podcourses came to me while attending a conference and wishing I could learn from great presenters while on the go.

I also discuss what it takes to build a continuing education platform for clinicians, lessons I've learned from podcasting and entrepreneurship, and why I focus on practical skills therapists can immediately use in session.
