  • Behind the Scenes: Let's Talk About Numbers for The Poddy Report
    Sep 27 2023

    Ever wondered about the real numbers behind a podcast's success? This episode dares to openly reveal our podcast's statistics, ranging from download numbers to listener engagement rates. With over 53,000 downloads since our 2020 launch, we dive into the week-by-week fluctuations and share the fascinating insights we've uncovered. 

    The latter half of the episode takes a more introspective turn as we explore the 'why' behind our podcast. 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.

  • The Impact of a 5-Min Podcast Routine
    Sep 25 2023

    Have you ever wondered how a simple routine can make massive changes in your life? Well, hold on to your hats as we bid farewell to the final week of the Poddy Report and reflect on the incredible journey that unfolded through our 1,356 episodes! 

    With 912 episodes of the Potty Report and 444 episodes of the Proffitt Podcast, we've proven that determination and consistency make the magic happen. By making podcasting part of my regular schedule, a mountain of episodes piled up before I even realized it. 

    But here's the twist: these five-minute-or-less episodes unknowingly prepared me for an intriguing challenge at the Ramsey Solutions Influencer event, where I was tasked with delivering a speech in under five minutes. Through this journey, we've seen how seemingly unrelated pieces can come together to lead us toward future opportunities. 

    So, buckle up and join us for this grand finale as we celebrate the power of routine, the importance of recognizing personal victories, and the unexpected ways our efforts can bear fruit. Keep it fresh, keep it fun, and no matter what, just keep going.
