"The risk of taking a leap forward is daunting, but not as daunting as staying in the same place! Remember, you never regret trying!" (thanks to Menya Hinga for sharing this quote this week on LinkedIn)

So here I am, 1 year after taking that leap forward!

Today, I'm celebrating the 1st Birthday of the #LawyeronAirPodcast which launched on #internationalwomensday, March 8th, 2021. 🎉

So what has been achieved from that leap, 365 days ago?
🎙2 seasons have been completed with 20 guests
🎙Average of 2 guest episodes/month
🎙For 99% of the guests it was their very FIRST time on a podcast!
🎙43,000 plays of all the episodes in total
🎙Listening audience based in a wide variety of countries: Japan (59%), UN (14%) Australia 8%), UK (5%) and New Zealand (3%) with the remainder of listeners in Germany, Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, France, Ireland, India, Chile, Nigeria, Philippines, Switzerland, Italy, UAE, Sweden, South Africa, Croatia, Australia … and 23 other countries
🎙Leading platforms: Apple Podcasts (66%) and Spotify (20%) with others such as YouTube and Web Browser
🎙Listening audience: majority = 35-44 year old age group (32%), followed by those 26-34 years of age (17%), and the third biggest age group of listeners are 45-59 years of age (14%)
🎙Listeners identify as 57% female, 55% male and 8% not specified. I love that a large volume of people who identify as males also listen to this podcast and are champions of women globally!
🎙Our three most popular episodes at this point in time are:
🥇Angela Krantz 🥈 Royanne Doi 🥉Aramide Fields

🙏I am indebted to the fabulous guests for putting their hand up to come on the show. They’ve shared their #successes, #challenges, #tips for success and #insights into what it really is like being a woman lawyer working internationally and in the Japan marketplace.

🙏I also thank the #strategic brains behind the podcast - Jayne Nakata for all her inspiration and support with her brilliance that is PodLaunch with Jayne

🙏And big thanks to the commmunity here who have been massive supporters listening in, sharing the episodes and encouraging others to subscribe and listen.

I cannot wait to bring you Season 3️⃣ in April and look forward to an exciting Year 2 of the Lawyer on Air Podcast.

⚖️ If you know a female lawyer who is in Japan or has a nexus to Japan, and you think she would be a great guest, then please introduce her to me!
