Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Downloads are an important metric to track, but at the end of the day, you can’t force anyone to press play on your podcast. Focus on metrics you can control, and the downloads will inevitably come.
• The goals you can control can center around technical aspects like the length of your episodes, SEO elements like the spiciness of your titles, or promotional materials like going live once per week.
• Ultimately, take any and all growth recommendations with a grain of salt. Your show is YOUR show, and you should balance best practices with what feels good and authentic to you.
