Unlike the mainstream race for maximum downloads and SEO optimization, my aim was less about quantitative success and more about qualitative growth. Inspired by Pat Flynn's 'Ask Pat,' our podcast is about honing public speaking skills, creating an intimate listener experience, and delivering resonating solo content to our niche audience. As you tune in, we encourage you to reflect on your own content journey and the bigger purpose it serves. Remember, it's not always about the numbers but the impact you make.
