Customer Reviews
Real, raw, and incredibly entertaining
Michelle is a people person! She is real and raw and knows how to make her guests feel comfortable. I love listening to her episodes with authors because I’m a huge reader. This podcast is entertaining and I love learning so much about her and her guests.
Actionable tips, guests that bring value & inspirational.
I have been listening to Michelle’s podcast for about a year now and have gotten so much value out of her experience and expertise that she has shared as well as that of her many well vetted guests.
Michelle’s topics have introduced me to so many new concepts that have coincided with my professional journey. Especially when it comes to marketing, PR best practices in relation to podcasting, social media management/repurposing. I particularly loved the episodes regarding book writing, hybrid publishing and marketing.
She continues to inspire me with each episode and her tips help me to fine tune my approach as I manage marketing and social media for multiple businesses including a personal service brand, media company + podcast and a local non-profit organization that I am helping to revamp.
Her advice have provided me with a really solid foundation of do’s and don’ts as podcasting & PR were both completely new to me as of last year. I find myself sharing her episodes with my network on a pretty regular basis and have begun to align myself with more likeminded people in my industry which has been a big support.
Thank you Michelle!
Top-notch podcast
I was fortunate to be a guest on My Simplified Life with Michelle Glogovac. Prior to that, I listened to many of her previous shows and found her to be enthusiastic, insightful, and full of great, relevant questions. Michelle is a seasoned pro at this and knows how to bring her guests into the spotlight! I enjoy the variety of individuals she brings onto her podcast.
