'Growth' only matters if you're selling ads
Quote
as long as you have the income you need to pay to pay your bills, and the things are good, and you're going in the right direction. You're not tanking. Like, why does it matter? How many, it only matters in the context of advertising?

Summary
Todd Cochran said growth is what every podcaster cares about most, and Adam asked what that even means. Dave agrees: if you have the income to pay your bills, things are good and you're not tanking, growth numbers matter only for advertising. Hitch yourself to that horse and you'll be up all night worrying about growth.
Not in the audio. Dave is building on Adam's reply to Todd Cochran on the New Media Show. The quoted words are Dave's own voice-matched cues.

the point of podcasting is to connect with your audience in a way that they get value from you and in return it. You create a shared value between the two between you and your audience, whether that's if it's if it's 1000 people, and it's sustainable.
