One New Person

Alex DiPalma is an audio producer and rising celebrity in the podcasting world. Alex and I met in 2018 when I was a student in The Podcasting Fellowship, an online course she co-created and runs with business legend Seth Godin, who will factor prominently in our conversation. Alex is the producer and editor of Food 4 Thot, named one of the Best Podcasts of 2017 by New York Magazine. She executive produced Rise & Grind with Daymond John of Shark Tank fame, and is now the producer and editor of Seth Godin's Akimbo. This episode is more a conversation than an interview, and ranges on topics from the state of the podcast industry in pop culture, to the difference between visual and audio mediums, when to pay attention and when to ignore stats and metrics in our work, how to navigate professional relationships, particularly when you're working with genius, and of course, Alex shares her story of a chance encounter with lasting impact. It will not surprise you, but it might delight you. It was an honor to chat
