Deep dives

Increase revenue and increase mind share

The host's main goals for 2024 are to increase revenue and increase mind share. Increasing revenue is important for creating more optionality and investment opportunities in the business. By generating direct revenue from audience transactions, there is more control and flexibility to say no to partnerships and projects that may not align with the brand. Increasing mind share involves positioning the podcast as the go-to educational resource for creators. The host aims to be the top recommendation when people discuss the best newsletters, YouTube channels, and podcasts for creators. Investment in the business will be prioritized to drive growth and expand the team.
