Creator, producer, coordinator, host of NextQuest Podcast, October 2020-present, currently on an extended break, on virtually every podcast provider including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, etc show webpage: https://www.nextquestcounseling.com/aboutnextquestpodcast

- Recorded 58 episodes of the podcast to date with plans to resume recording in the near future

- Created the podcast out of the idea of how weird it is that people choose their therapist, the people we tell our life stories to, based on a limited blurb on a website and results in discouragement when a therapist may not be the right fit.

- The purpose of the podcast is to help those looking for a therapist to find a better fit in a therapist through the use of interviews with potential therapists abouts their practice and specialty. The podcast is also meant to be a means of assisting therapists and practices in marketing themselves in a novel way. Each episode of NextQuest Podcast features an interview with a different Austin/Central Texas based therapist each episode.
