Stay Rooted! for Seedling Members

Seedling, Flowering, & Fruitful members, stay tuned for a refreshed and easy-to-access private podcast feed!

While I loved the interface and custom features of our former podcast host, Captivate.fm, the private podcast feature was lacking. The onboarding process was cumbersome and not as intuitive as they'd like to promote. Luckily, Ghost, our media publisher, had announced a new feature through their partnership with Transistor.fm – private podcast integrations for Ghost members. Learn more.

Fast forward to today and we are setting up on Transistor and almost ready to release our next private podcast episode! We're completing the transfer of our private episode archive and will be sharing an update later this week with 1) how to access your private podcast 2) full access to our archive and 3) a brand new episode about organizing strategy. Stay tuned!
