About Meredith Hackwith Edwards:

Podcasting since 2019, Meredith is the host & producer of Meredith for Real: the curious introvert, for which she was named one of Podcast Magazines 40 under 40 in 2022.

Meredith is the founder of Outsider Advantage, an idea consultancy whose primary offering is podcast launch & production including Voices United in Education, which won two Addy Awards in 2023.

She is best known for her imaginative approach to content creation & ability to humanize digital communication.

She believes in being lost in the right direction & that everyone should meet people outside the algorithm.
