If you’re trying to grow a business with your podcast, vanity metrics aren’t gonna cut it. You need to know who’s paying attention and why.

Here’s how you figure that out:
Watch what people do. Look at your LinkedIn feed. Who’s liking your clips? Who’s DMing you about that episode you dropped last week? Who’s showing up to calls already quoting your show?

That’s your audience. And you need to write their names down.

Let’s be real, if your podcast strategy starts and ends with “get more downloads,” you’re already wasting your time.

A lot of people talk about “building community.” The truth is, most of the time they’re not. They’re building an audience.

 

And if you don’t understand the difference, you’re going to waste time, energy, and opportunities.

 

That’s why I sat down with Adam Teterus, community manager at Indy Hall and one of the sharpest voices on what real community actually looks like.
