Episode 300: What 300 Podcast Episodes Taught Me About Power and Reinvention
To celebrate our 300th episode, Kara Duffy is joined by her sister and senior audio engineer Jordan Duffy, and podcast producer Amanda Kass, for a behind-the-scenes look at how the Powerful Ladies Podcast gets made. They talk candidly about how the show started, the work that goes into each episode, and what they’ve learned across five years and 300 interviews. From navigating imposter syndrome to building an intentional community, this conversation is full of heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom. You’ll also hear what’s next for the podcast and how the team is expanding the Powerful Ladies brand into its next chapter.
This episode explores podcast production, women in media, and the power of building something that matters.
“ I think a big sign of being powerful is what we do despite all the circumstances because we know it’s bigger than us.”
