S2 E19 - My "3 Metric Circle Chart for Social Media Domination" that will change how you think about social media (For the better!)

[Audio Diary recorded: 9.2.25] In this circle chart methodology episode, I'm walking through my actual decision-making process using my own PDF system while wrestling with a mediocre talking head post that's getting decent views but only rating 5/10 on personal fulfillment, compared to my Labor Day stair fall in a fluorescent bikini that scored perfect 10s across the board - revealing the constant tension between what I think people want versus what genuinely lights me up as an artist. Perfect for creators struggling with authentic content choices, anyone using metrics to guide creative decisions, and listeners learning to trust their internal compass over external validation and how to know what to post on social media. In this episode, I talk about:Live circle chart demonstration: Using my own PDF methodology on a fresh post with 300 views, rating it 5/10 for happiness and enjoyment - "the why behind posting it is to try and get people to find the podcast"Labor Day stairfall comparison: Fluorescent bikini video scoring perfect 10s on personal fulfillment despite lower metrics - "even the way I describe that, that is the answer"The Steve Martin perseverance principle: Staying strong in your vision even when metrics are poor, if personal satisfaction ratings are high - "you might just be the Steve Martin of whatever you're doing"Podcast production reality check: 123 downloads rating 0/10 for enjoyment of editing process but 10/10 for meaning - "even if one person finds these and feels like they have a chance at getting their dream back"Season two streamlining improvements: Better microphone, more intentional recording, learning from season one's "nightmare" of sorting through random audio files80/20 content strategy pivot: Originally planning 80% inspirational, 20% stunts, now realizing it should be reversed because "my posts where I'm doing my art are the ones that are popping off"Talking head struggle analysis: Only successful when sweaty after stairfalls with no time to overthink, versus forced camera awareness that creates terrible "being perceived" energyActing versus social media comparison: Having other actors to focus on versus camera-only performance challenges - "you don't have that other actor to play with"TikTok platform limitations: Recognizing my edgy stunt content won't work there due to strict rules, feeling grateful Instagram vibes with itCrash movie tangent and preferences philosophy: 1996 David Cronenberg version versus Sandra Bullock Oscar winner, using cookies analogy for taste differences - "just like it's just preference"Circle chart as decision-making tool: Using printed tracking system to feel "hard charging" and accomplished even when progress feels invisible
