Today I’m here with Marisol Ibarra, a Wit & Wire alumnae and the host of Here Comes the Sun.
Marisol is a first-gen graduate and professional, and her podcast covers career development, money management, and wellness for fellow first-gens.
We’ll cover tips to prepare, script, and streamline production for both solo episodes and episodes of any format, but I think the most important question Marisol asks is, “How can I still make sure my solo episodes sound like me?”
