Six weeks into the podcasting life, a few early learnings:

1. There's no one place to get analytics. You need to check multiple sites to triangulate on what's going on. WTF.

Most companies are terrible at communicating what they do because their copy is written by someone who is inside the business on a daily basis.

The best trick to nail your messaging in one sentence is by answering:

How would you explain what you do, to a 3rd grader?

Do agencies not understand that if an account wants to terminate & you force them to continue working with you, they are going to tell everyone (execs, peers at other companies, investors, competitors, etc.) that you are very bad and are to be avoided?
