What Keeps Me Going

My podcast downloads have been declining with each episode I release.

My first few podcasts got about 200-300 downloads. Now it’s 30-50. 

My latest episode reached 10 downloads in the first few days. At first glance, it can be discouraging to see that an episode got as many downloads as hours that went into creating it. 

But I always come back to realize that I’m not in it for the stats. I’m in it for something bigger. Something more meaningful. It’s not numbers that keep me going but the problem I want to solve.

Of course, I want to reach as many people as possible, but I believe that through staying consistent, it will grow eventually. 

But to those of you, who have been a part of the journey since the beginning, thank you.

Often times, I think back to stories of actors, musicians, etc. who spent countless hours pursuing their craft and receiving no recognition and attention before seeing any signs of success. They showed up every day regardless of how many people were watching, to do the thing they loved most. 

So, I would love to hear from you, what keeps you going?
