020 | The Twenty-Something Experience & Starting a Podcast w/ Ama Appiah
If only there was a guidebook for your 20s... but Ama's podcast comes pretty close! In this episode, I got to talk (and laugh a lot) with Ama Appiah, the creator of The Bonnet Talks podcast (and fellow ARMY), about what she's learned through interviewing tons of people around the world about the twenty-something experience. On this episode we talked about: how she grew a One Direction update account to 67,000 followers, an international team, and followers like iHeartRadio and Yahoo News UK (1:52) studying communications, becoming university president, and writing her own story in college (7:22) how a master's program differs from a bachelor's (11:20) starting a podcast to encourage conversations about the twenty-something experience (13:48) hurdles and challenges of starting a podcast (19:16) common threads that tie the interviews together (22:32) how to find and reach out to podcast guests (30:07) falling down the BTS rabbit hole and becoming an ARMY (35:58) Ama's advice for listeners in their 20s (49:14) Ama's favorite Taylor Swift quote (50:24) To find links to everything we mentioned, and to sign up for weekly podcast shownotes in your inbox, click here.
