DRUMROLL PLEASE….. 🥁 🥁
The podcast is turning TWO!
Two years ago I published my very first podcast episode, not really sure what the heck I was doing. All I knew is that I had something I wanted to share and I felt like if it impacted or helped one person out there, then I needed to press record.
And now here we are over 130 episodes later and we are still going strong. I couldn’t have done it without the countless listeners continuing to come back week after week and press play on each episode I released.
So I knew with the podcast turning 2 that we needed to celebrate this big milestone. But here’s the thing:
This milestone would not be possible if it wasn’t for YOU. You have continued to listen, share, download, and support the podcast week after week.
So as my way of saying thank you for being a loyal listener and supporter of the Freelancer to CEO podcast, I want to do a major giveaway.
I will be giving away THREE free one-on-one 30 minute coaching sessions with me where you can pick my brain about anything freelancing, your business, growing and scaling, and more!

Here's how to enter:

1. Leave a written review on the podcast at aubreemalick.com/itunes
