Here is a snippet for a much longer interview we did live on the Behind The Mike Radio Show with Joel Michalec. Heather and Rhonda enjoyed this casual conversation with Joel and felt it would answer some of the questions we have been asked.

Many people are amazed at the speed with which we were able to bring Podioracket.com to reality. Heather had four years experience as a Process consultant one of the big five consulting firms, spent over a year as a project manager, and supported web sites for a large national telecom. Among Rhonda’s other professional skills, her empire includes 4 websites which received more than 2 million unique hits per month, an extensive social network, and experience with press releases, promotions, and interviews. We were able to conceive of the plan, create documents, reach out to potential contributors, and create our web presence in a very short amount of time because of the skills we had already acquired. The thing that took the longest was settling on the name. Our brainstormed list included many other options. Would you still love us if we were Podioactive? Enjoy!
