Why we stopped sharing our revenue numbers

Jon and Justin talk about:

• New albums from DJ Shadow and Beck
• Why we aren't sharing our revenue metrics publicly anymore
• "Sometimes, you can worry more about your public image, more than actually focusing on the problem in a safe place."
• Why did Buffer stop sharing their revenue numbers?
• Three questions we ask:
  • Who is this for?
  • What is it for?
  • How will we evaluate success?
• New podcast analytics features
• "The numbers on their own don't really mean anything."
