Hi Dave,
A really moving story about the chap that connected with his Dad again through a podcast, and if you helped to inspire him, don’t knock it. I think we all just get on with our own lives, doing our own things and sometimes, unintentionally, we really touch other people’s lives and resonate with them. I can vouch for this first hand, and if you’ve got 5 minutes to spare, you may find this article on my blog interesting: http://www.richardfarrar.com/inspired-by-accident/
Cheers, Richard
Richard,
W O W. Thanks for sharing…
Dave,
You mentioned telling a client that they could get podcast cover art for about $50. Where is it that you can get custom art for that price?
Thanks!
JD.
It’s actually $30 at http://podcastdesigns.com/custom-designs/
Becky is the best.
Dave
Thanks Dave.
I actually discovered her a couple weeks ago and she’s currently working on the art for my new podcast. So far, so good.
When I heard you mention that the other day I thought maybe you knew of someone else.
Thanks!
