Impactful Trailer - how you'll be inspired by what impacts others
You can expect a short, 10-15 minute show every week that you can digest over your lunch break, your morning walk, or even when you're doing the dishes.
I'll be talking to entrepreneurs, indie hackers, well-known founders, and other interesting people that I bump into throughout my life. I want to hear the things that have really changed people's lives and find out why.
I'm James McKinven, a podcast producer and host of the indie bites show. I'm finding inspiration in the conversations I have off-air with others when talking about the most impactful things in their lives and I want to share that with you.
I hope you find this show useful, entertaining and thought-provoking. See you in the first episode.
