Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. “Did I hit 10k yet?”

But here’s what I’ve learned after nearly a decade in the podcasting world (and helping creators like Amy Porterfield scale to a million downloads/month): download numbers are not the metric that matters most.

In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down what really drives podcast ROI — and it’s probably not what you think.

We’ll cover:

• The truth about vanity metrics (and the anxiety they cause)
• Why focusing on downloads might be holding you back
• The exact KPIs I use to measure podcast performance
• How to turn your show into a list-growing, client-attracting machine
