28:34 – The plague of vanity metrics
– The average podcaster quits producing podcast content after SEVEN EPISODES
– There are many reasons why someone may walk away from their show, but one of the biggest is that many subscribe to the download metric and feel it’s the definition of success. In reality, it takes time to get comfortable and build an audience

– As Jas explains, it took him 175 episodes of his podcast to truly get comfortable and fully commit to it being his chief branding initiative!
– Focus on making recommendable content that people will not only learn from, but be proud to share with others. When this happens, exponential growth kicks in and true audience growth can be felt
