Have I ever told you that Linda Lebrun from Substack recommended to start a podcast? We chatted and she suggested to start a Substack native podcast for The Online Writing Club.
I still remember my first podcast episode on Substack — in August 2024 — with my baby in my lab.
The guest? Medium Top Writer Michael Thompson — who became a first-time book author of Shy by Design.
And the coolest part?
One single story on Medium changed his life.
An agent read one of his stories, saw “the seed” of a book idea, and reached out to him.
Wild, right?
Wild is also what I’m about to share with you now…
Honestly? I’m still kinda blown away.
