Podcasts’ Compounding Interest
Everywhere you look, it seems another podcast has popped up.

Empowering Introverts featuring Daisy Simonis
Founder of Empowered Introverts
Empowering Introverts
When you hear “introvert” do you immediately think, “shy, quiet, likes to be alone”? If you do, you’re not alone. But there’s so much more to the story. In fact, there are a lot of misconceptions around introverted personalities and how they uniquely engage with the world and with others. Daisy Simonis, Founder of Empowered Introverts, is on a mission to help introverts tap into their superpowers on their way to impacting the workforce — and the world — in ways they are uniquely wired to. But, this impact can only come as introverts confidently step into being their unique version of themselves. One interaction at a time.
