What happens when the seeds you planted eighteen months ago finally start breaking through? In this episode, Arvid shares how Podscan's long-term investments are compounding - from programmatic SEO earning backlinks from major publications to an OP3 integration improving data fidelity across millions of podcasts. He also talks about how agentic coding tools helped him migrate to OpenSearch, a system he never would have touched on his own, and the semi-automated 10-80-10 workflows that are freeing him up for higher-leverage work.
