True Crime Obsessed: How Patrick Hinds Built the #1 Show on Patreon

I’m joined by Patrick Hinds — creator and co-host of True Crime Obsessed and The Golden Girls Deep Dive Podcast. Patrick shares how he accidentally found his calling in podcasting, built the #1 show on Patreon, and walked away from his 9-to-5 to chase his passion full time. We also dive into his journey as a husband and father, fostering and adopting his daughter from birth. Plus, we break down some of the true crime cases that have us both completely hooked. This episode is all about trusting your passion, building the life you want, and never underestimating where your obsessions can take you.Want to advertise on our show?
