The Importance of Quality Over Quantity

A shift in podcast production focuses on prioritizing quality content over increased frequency. By returning to a weekly episode format, the creators aim to maintain high standards of guest selection and subject matter. This change allows for a more curated approach to the guests featured, ensuring only those with meaningful insights are included. The commitment to quality reflects the belief that listeners deserve valuable episodes rather than a larger quantity of less engaging content.
