This past year was both challenging and exhilarating in many ways. From launching new endeavors to rekindling past practices, 2021 was a year filled with many twists and turns for all of us at DeanHouson+.
But the year also featured plenty of bright spots, like our newly revamped INSPIRE podcast series. Along the way, we were able to chat with a lot of amazing people in various industries, getting their insights and expertise on a bevy of topics – and had quite a bit of fun doing it.
While we love every episode, we wanted to highlight a selection of our most popular to create an overview of the podcast series for the year. So, without further ado, here are our top five INSPIRE podcast episodes of 2021.
