The Power of Podcasts 

Mark has started to use podcasts. He is now reaching an even broader and more diverse group of leaders and their teams.  Mark has already taken part in a podcast and will be starting his own series very soon. These can be tailored for any group or industry.

Podcasts are a very dynamic way to reach potentially thousands of people. They can be audio or video. Both are sent out on the internet or can be available where people usually get their podcasts. You can stream the files or download them to a computer or smartphone to see or hear them.  If you have an iPhone or Android phone, you have built-in podcast listening apps.
