State of the Union - Peak Behind the Curtain Into My World

I moved this week. After 5+ years (and 30+ closet podcast episodes) in the same apartment, I finally moved. And because Comcast is the devil and I've been without internet, it felt like a good opportunity to record a little solo episode.

I wanted to take this episode as an opportunity to be 1000% transparent with everything I've been working on for the last year and a half. It's very easy for people who are already uber successful to look back on when they were building something and sugarcoat how easy it was or gloss over the details. I, however, have been writing and podcasting and making shit for the internet now for a year and a half. I'm right in the midst of trying to build and grow something.

For anyone else who is doing the same, I thought it might be beneficial to share my progress. So, that's exactly what you get in this episode. 

Podcast progress - What I've seen so far for total listens of Destination Different. Plans for how I hope to continue to grow it.
Email newsletter progress - The ebbs and flows of subscriber numbers and open rates. How I hope the rebrand finally gives it some structure.
Blog progress - Pivoting away from something that felt so perfect just 18 months ago. What does blog traffic even mean?
Social media progress - The difficulties of growing an audience on social media and how not to overextend yourself.
Lessons learned from creating on the internet - Patience, consistency, distribution vs. creation, and more patience.

Hopefully this episode is valuable to anyone out there who is trying to build and grow a business, or just simply make content for the internet.

Enjoy!
