I'm a Bluburry podcasting affiliate, but that's not the only reason I'm telling you about this. I've been using Blubrry podcasting as my host for the podcast for years and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. They provide great service. You can run your podcast from your website. They provide fantastic distribution at a reasonable price. That's why it's a company I can get behind one hundred percent and say, "You should try this." If you want to podcast, try out Blubrry. It doesn't require a long-term contract. It's just a great company, and they provide great technical support, too, by email, video, and on the phone. I've included an affiliate link on this blog. Unfortunately, our scheduled guest had to cancel. However, I was lucky enough to have someone else waiting in the wings. :) FYI, this post includes an affiliate link or two. Debbi: Hi, everyone. Today's guest is uniquely accomplished, to say the least. He is, and I quote from his bio, "an author, screenwriter, playwright, producer, director, actor, showrunner, publisher, songwriter/composer, CEO, educator, speaker, and needless to say, entrepreneur." He is also founder, CEO, and president of the Killer Nashville Conference for writers. He's done numerous things we can discuss, actually. And it's my great pleasure to introduce Clay Stafford. Hi Clay. I'm so glad you're here today. Clay: Well, hey, Debbi. And all of that only says that I am very old. That's what it comes down to. Right? Debbi: But you have done so much with that time. Clay: Well, thanks. Thanks. You know I started as a kid actor. Did you know that? Debbi: I was going to ask how you got started. How did you get started? Clay: Yeah. I started actually working professionally when I was 10, and so have been in the business ever since then. Worked
