Episode 194 (Season 4, Episode 4)

Building a Virtual-Friendly Foundation

It all starts with a solid foundation, even in the virtual world! With that, we’re going to start from the bottom and build our way up!

Join Todd, Megan, Producer Christian, and Terry as they give you a handful of tips to start building your virtual business. As a bonus, there are a few tips for boxing, too.  (Let’s be honest—we’re getting a little stir crazy and looking to go bare-knuckle podcasting soon. Prep yourself, as it’s getting a little nutty in the podcast studio!)

So, put in your mouthguard and get ready to fight to create your best virtual foundation! Ding-ding-ding! (That was our sound of a bell. Amazing, huh?)

Heavy on pomp but light on circumstance, the Boom Team is ready to rock the first full-length episode of Season 4! Let the fun begin!

We do a quick overview of the 7 advantages of working virtually. Of course, it wouldn’t really be a Boom episode if there weren’t some tangents and shenanigans. Shenanigans like Terry powering through another injury (this time, soap-related). Todd sharing his new segment that may or may not be awesome. Megan still clinging to hope that listeners won’t think she hates babies. And Producer Christian contemplating new jingles. It's all here as we power up Season 4 of The Boom Real Estate podcast!
