(Note: this episode originally ran on May 5, 2022) The reason why most podcasters struggle with growth has nothing to do with their actual growth strategy. It's actually because their premise and their audience definition are vague, confusing, and broken. They don't work.  Even if you have the juiciest most effective growth strategy, you're not going to grow if you don't have your premise and your audience definition locked in.  So, that's what we're going to focus on in today's episode.  I'll share two exercises to help you create a super specific audience profile and show premise.  By the end of the show, you'll be able to identify what makes your show totally unique, and refine your show's premise so that it actually HELPS you to grow your audience.
