Today in the guest chair we have a Podcast Moguls student spotlight with Shonitria Anthony, host of the Blunt Blowin Mama Podcast.

In 2019, The Blunt Blowin’ Mama podcast was launched and was named one of the “Top eight cannabis podcasts you need in your life” by Forbes

 In this episode Shonitria shares:

  • How she launched and scaled her podcast using the methods that I teach inside of Podcast Moguls

This week in the guest chair we have Shirley Ansley. In 2015, Shirley went on a journey to start a business and tried to DIY her website only to find out that making your own website is kind of hard. She became instantly obsessed with figuring out how to build a website the right way and along the way found herself starting a business as a freelance website designer.

She ran her business on the side while still working a full time job for almost two years until finally taking the leap. She left her 9 to 5 while three months pregnant with her second child a few months before the pandemic hit.

Today, she is a successful (and profitable) freelance website designer who’s had the privilege of working with award winning podcasts, POC women-led businesses, national organizations and more. 

In today’s episode we get into:

  • The strategy she used to transition from her job while still growing her side hustle
  • How she worked on and improved her technical design knowledge so she could shift from charging $675 for a website to now charging $5000-$10000
  • And so much more!
