Hey, Everyone!
Before the actual show comes out on January 7, 2016, I wanted to share my amazing theme song!
I hired the amazing SIKORA to turn their song "Haters" off their EP Eye Kandi into my official podcast music.
I recommend listening to the full song on their SoundCloud; however, you can hear a lot of the lyrics that drew me to the song in my theme: Namely the idea of not letting anyone define you.
LittleZotz Podcasting is going to be about living a successful freelance life. And one of the main components of being a freelancer is being your own boss and learning how to define yourself and your business.
I also loved the idea of embracing your haters. Which I firmly believe is one of the key elements to being successful online.
Enjoy the song -- show your support for SIKORA! -- and come back in January for Episode 1!
