Episode notes

Beneath the surface of every creative medium is a hidden code. Like DNA, this code dictates the constraints and possibilities of what’s possible within that platform. Like any platform, podcasting has its own code. The problem is most creators don’t understand the unique platform dynamics, constraints, and psychology baked into the medium… which makes it hard - if not impossible - to grow. Fortunately, once you’re able to decipher the code - of podcasting or any other platform - you unlock your potential for growth and ROI.
