Enjoyed this podcast, especially the part about travel blog positioning and who the travel bloggers are. I also have a doctorate degree and will be 50 this year and have a travel blog. We are such a varied group. I have had the pleasure of meeting Gary at TBEX and TBE this last year and find him brilliant.
I loved Jen’s advice about following your passion before knowing who your readers are. That is the position that I am in now. Thanks so much for this podcast! I retweeted it!
