Judd Alsup – We The Heroes
Judd is a believer in Jesus Christ above all. He is a husband, second (Yes, his wife is a BABE.) After those two things… Well, that’s a story all of it’s own.
If Judd had to coin a term for himself, he would say that he is a “professional beginner.” He is constantly starting new, different, exciting adventures – from podcasts to firefighting to learning how to throw a boomerang, the later of which, according to Judd, is way more difficult than you would think! Therefore, he is in a constant state of being a beginner.
It doesn’t help that he is extremely scatterbrained. For years, Judd thought this was a problem. A disability. A deal breaker for his success. It kept him awake at night – his wife sound asleep next to him. Judd realized, however, a few years ago that the truth couldn’t be any more opposite. His scatterbrained-ness is a gift. A gift that most people don’t have. Consequently, this “gift” meant that Judd is not satisfied working a 9 to 5 career style job.
He is not satisfied doing one thing repeatedly until he dies. Judd is by no means against hard work! He’s just built for a different kind of hard work. So, as of late, he has embraced his gift.
Since this realization Judd has begun to chip away at a list of goals/ideas/dreams that he continually adds to on a daily basis. It grows faster than it is completed, but this is a good thing; it just means that he’ll never get bored! His wife is constant support in all of his ventures and even if they all crumbled in his hands, as long as she’s by his side, he’s got it all.

Kate Krosschell – Crow Shell Marketing
Kate is the one-woman force behind Crow Shell Marketing, a marketing consultancy dedicated to helping podcasts grow through digital marketing. A former analyst at Twitter and Marketing Manager at AIR, the Association of Independents in Radio, she works with independent and network-based creators on using storytelling to grow audiences and enhance their digital and content marketing efforts. She’s excited to be working on an upcoming MacArthur-funded podcast about criminal justice reform with Lantigua Williams & Co. A public radio nerd at heart, she recently ran out of space on her phone and had to upgrade to make room for all the podcasts in her queue.
