2 Years In The Making: A Message From Your Host

August 14th marks 2 years that host and producer Sarah Rachel Brown has been creating Perceived Value. That’s 38 episodes, countless trips to record, one presentation at a symposium, one workshop on podcasting, a handful of recording on-site at special events, and a whole lot of hours spent on a laptop.

There’s a lot to be proud of and plenty more to look forward to in the upcoming year of the podcast. Today’s episode is not so much an episode but a special message from your host and producer. As Perceived Value Podcast turns 2 years old, Sarah wanted to give insight as to why she recently took an abrupt pause with the podcast and how she’s been handling all this hustling on her nights and weekends. Things are good but even when things are good, it’s important to take a step back and reflect.
