[ProPhotographer]Extremely InformativeThis podcast is extremely informative for anyone. That’s new or has been in the race industry for several years. I have been erased photographer for over a decade now. This podcast hits me to understand so many aspects of the industry which I am able to use in my photography business. The host asked very well thought out questions for each of the guest that are on the show. Intern, each guest is very knowledged about their area of expertise. If you want to learn more about the industry, the show is highly recommended.

Kari PMNot just for the Big Races…..This podcast has so much useful information. The latest episodes, ‘Sponsor Seekers’ and ‘Facebook Ads 1 ad 2’ are jam packed with information ANY size event can use. After listening, I immediately checked out their websites. I gained a ton of great information for FREE at powersponsors.com. The next week, I reached out to Andy Reilly to learn more about how Evergrow could help our race. Although we are smaller than his normal client and the cost of him doing our marketing was not in our budget, he has a consultation package that was perfect for us, to give us guidance and outline the tools we can use on our own to grow. I signed up immediately. I am the race director of a just under 300 participant race in a small town in South Carolina, but we aspire to grow and we pride ourself in giving our sponsors and participants a great race experience. The Head Start podcast, along with the Race Directors HQ emails, blogs, and interactive private Facebook group (Race Directors Hub), has helped us so much. Panos is the BEST. I feel like I know him personally, although we have never met. He is very responsive to email and we have even talked on the phone once (and he is located across the pond!). Anyone who wants to increase their numbers and provide a better experience for their participants, sponsors, and volunteers should listen to this podcast….. and join the Race Directors HQ.

Sheetz2SheetzGreat practical adviceAs a new RD, I’ve found this podcast to be enormously helpful, whether it’s guiding me through a decision, inspiring me to consider new ideas or helping me adopt best practices. The guests are always knowledgeable, and Panos is an excellent facilitator.

PoweredByMcAfeeReally enjoying the content for race directorsWe are a pretty niche group, race directors. I stumbled on this through a Google search and have really enjoyed the first 9 episodes.
