I have been a Tara Martin fan ever since we first connected on Twitter a few years ago. I brought you her #BookSnaps awesomeness in a blog post WAY back in November of 2016! Since then, we have published two books with her, Be Real: Educate from the Heart, and the picture book, Cannonball In. (Read my foreword to Be Real RIGHT HERE) Both highly recommended!! We even reached out and hired her to join us at DBC Inc. as our Director of Marketing and Communication...a title that does not even come close to describing all she does.
Now, I am proud to announce that she has launched a brilliant new podcast, The Real Journey Show!!! Tara will have an eclectic set of guests from inside and outside education and interview them about the REAL journey they took on their path to success.
I am honored that she asked me to be the initial guest on episode one!! We had a fantastic chat in which we discussed a wide range of issues including the origin story of DBC Inc., how to get started as an author, speaker, and/or entrepreneur, why it is important to follow your energy, the importance of getting connected, and many more topics. It was a free-flowing and fun conversation, and I think you would enjoy listening! Click RIGHT HERE to find all the podcast info on her website.
Be sure to not only listen to my episode, but also SUBSCRIBE!!! She will be adding new episodes each week, and I really think you are going to love her interviewing style and the theme of the show. Please let us know what you think of the show on social media by using the #RealJourneyShow hashtag and tagging us! I am @burgessdave on Twitter and @dbc_inc on Instagram. Tara is @TaraMartinEDU on Twitter and @tarammartin.real on Instagram.
Congratulations, Tara!! As I mentioned on the show, I am not only excited for her...but also for all of you to have a brand new podcast to add to your playlist!

PS: Speaking of podcasts...I LOVE the #InAWEtoRISE podcast of Balance Like a PIRATE co-author, Sarah Johnson. She has created a show intentionally designed to lift up the voices of women...and it is fantastic. Her most recent show features Lead Like a PIRATE authors, Shelley Burgess and Beth Houf. Both are incredible educational leaders, and I think you will love the discussion. You can listen by clicking RIGHT HERE. Thanks for all you do to amplify the voices of women, Sarah!
