This episode covers how to stay grounded in a world obsessed with metrics. We delve into the looming shift of Google Podcasts listeners to YouTube Music and why listen time matters more than download stats.
Then, our conversation takes an introspective turn as we discuss the No Stats 90 challenge by Mark Steadman, nudging podcasters to look beyond numbers to nurture their content and community. It's a lesson in the psychological impacts of constant performance tracking, and setting sights on the horizon without losing joy in the steps leading there.
