495 - Audience Reduction Strategy: How Fewer Listeners Can Create More Impact

This episode came from a pattern I’ve seen over and over again. So many people come to me asking for audience growth strategies. They’ve been podcasting for a while, they feel like they’ve hit a plateau, and they believe the answer is getting in front of more people. In this episode, I challenge that assumption. I share my own experience of going from a tiny audience to tens of thousands of listeners almost overnight, and what that actually felt like behind the scenes. I talk about the pressure, the criticism, and the lack of clarity that came with rapid growth before I was ready for it. Then I walk through what I believe matters far more than audience size. I talk about alignment, responsiveness, influence, and relational depth. I share how I’m intentionally building relationships with people attending my upcoming workshop, and how that same approach applies to podcasting, even if you only have a small number of listeners. If you’ve been focused on growing your audience, this episode may invite you to think differently about what kind of audience you actually want to create.
