Hi, it's Courtney.
I was honoured to do a presentation about Lenny.fm to AIR Members the other week, sharing the story of Lenny.fm and answering questions about how it worked.
This was thanks to Mia Lobel, a name I'd heard for many years listening to podcasts from Panoply, Slate, Pushkin and others from about 2012 onward.
Mia is a true Podcast Veteran, and Author of the Freelance Cafe Substack, a creative leader, Executive Producer, educator and AIR board member.
She very generously shared her thoughts about what we're trying to do with Lenny.fm:

About Mia
I’m a veteran audio producer, manager, and educator who has spent my career championing creativity, diversity, and character-driven storytelling.
I’ve worked with the world’s best writers, journalists, and intellectuals to help them achieve their vision in sound.
I believe that happy people do great work and I lead by creating a culture of kindness. I’m drawn to mission-driven organizations that encourage autonomy, flexibility, innovation, and teamwork.
I offer discounted mentorship and consulting via AIR – helping independent producers and companies build and grow teams, set up sustainable production processes, and create impactful, entertaining, and memorable content.
