On this day, 5 years ago, the first episode of @asianbossgirl went live. I try to think back to that time and my memory of that period is already starting to get fuzzy 🧠☁️, but I can picture key moments - nights with our laptops out researching what an RSS feed is, how to submit to Apple Podcast, setting up a basic website and email address, outlining, recording, and editing, texting back and forth every week about episode titles, descriptions, and thumbnail photos... 5 years ago, we hit “publish” and released our little show onto the airwaves, beginning a commitment to record and release every week (Can we keep up with the schedule while working demanding full-time jobs? Will we run out of topics? Will anyone even listen - worse, will people hate it?). And then the emails and messages began flooding in with paragraphs and paragraphs of people’s personal thoughts and experiences prompted by the conversations we had on our episodes. 5 years ago, my life changed forever. It might sound dramatic, but it’s accurate. As much as I entertained the possibility that our little podcast would resonate with an audience, I could have never imagined the reality of @asianbossgirl - the community we’d gather; the business we’d build; the team we’d be able to hire; the opportunity to speak at companies like Disney, Facebook, P&G, and Blue Shield; the brands we’d get to work with to help us tell our stories; and the children’s book we’d release?!
