Much of what I have learned during the last year about blogging has come from the ProBlogger podcast. Darren Rowse launched his podcast in mid 2015 with a series, 31 Days to a Better Blog. Darren regularly runs challenges to his audience. 

I plan to follow his strategy when I launch the Repurpose Your Career podcast. I will begin with a series called, 5 Steps to Your Next Career Pivot. Each of these episodes will finish with a challenge.
