77 Episodes In... I Thought I'd Be Further Along

from Keep the Flow

I'm 77 episodes in, most of them barely get seen, and I'm not sure anymore whether that's enough of a reason to keep going... so I'm just going to tell you the truth about it.I've been doing this podcast for a couple of years now, and lately I've been wrestling with a question I didn't expect to be asking out loud: is the response I'm getting enough to keep going? This many episodes in, most don't get much traction, and I thought I'd be farther along by now. So this one's different. No real lesson, no framework – just me thinking through what it means to keep making something when the numbers stay small, why I'd probably keep writing even if nobody watched, and the difference between music (which feels like it's in my DNA) and this (which I actually have to choose). I made an episode last year about doing the work for its own sake and not obsessing over whether it matters. Turns out I now need to take my own advice. If you've got thoughts on what I could be doing better, I'd really like to hear them.🎧Check out my music: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.com/🤟Join the Patreon community: https://patreon.com/scottmclemore📭 The free newsletter goes deeper into ideas like these: https://ktfpod.com Hosted on Acast.
