Its easy to start your podcasting journey and feel far away from the top 1%. And if you feel like you can get there easily, you might find the journey harder than you thought.

And, once again, you'll hear Coffee with a Podcaster mentioned: where this show began and has transformed into Re:Thinking Podcasting.
