"Personally, I’m seriously considering pivoting away from the podcast industry. Through my recent job searching it has begun to feel like a closed and cliquey space that I’m stuck on the outside of. I’m getting passed up for roles that I’m extremely qualified for so I’m probably gonna pivot back into the tech/start-up world." <-- something for the podcasting world to be aware of. seeming insular, close-minded, or inaccessible is not good for the industry.
