Welcome to our final curtain call - the closing episode of the Poddy Report. It's a bittersweet moment filled with gratitude, uncertainty, and a whirlwind of emotions. 

Over the years, this podcast has been my personal sanctuary, a place to voice my thoughts, uncertainties, and sometimes even downright foolish ideas. My heartfelt thanks to you, dear listener, for your unwavering support - you've turned this podcast into my therapy, a safe space for deep diving into business strategies, personal experiences, fears, and blunders.

While this episode marks the end of the Poddy Report, it's certainly not the last you'll hear from me. I'm bubbling with excitement for new opportunities, upcoming projects, and big ideas for 2024. There's a cocktail of emotions, with a dash of fear - is closing the Poddy Report a mistake? Only time will tell. 

For now, I'm eager to continue sharing my journey in other ways - through my email list and Instagram. A rebrand of my website and overall brand is on the horizon, so stay tuned. As this chapter ends, remember to keep it fresh, keep it fun, and never stop moving forward. Here's to our final sign-off - keep going, don't you dare stop.

As we draw the curtain on the Poddy Report, it feels a little like standing on the edge of a cliff - there's fear, exhilaration, and a strange sense of freedom. It's been a journey recording these final episodes, wrestling with emotions yet feeling the strange relief of letting go. 

It's tough, like parting with an old friend, but the truth is, letting go has created room for new, exciting opportunities - opportunities that seemed like distant dreams just a few months back. And I can't wait to share them with you.

So, what's next? As I step into the future, I invite you to join me behind the scenes as I begin to share more of my journey via Instagram and my newsletter. Expect riveting posts, engaging stories, and a peek into the exciting deals I've been working on. Plus, there are a few local conferences in the Houston area that I'll be attending. If you're in the area, do drop by. It would be wonderful to connect with you. 

As we say goodbye to the Poddy Report, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences, the lessons, and the journey. So, remember - keep it fresh, keep it fun, and keep going. Let's jump into the next chapter of our journey together.

Ever wondered about the real numbers behind a podcast's success? This episode dares to openly reveal our podcast's statistics, ranging from download numbers to listener engagement rates. With over 53,000 downloads since our 2020 launch, we dive into the week-by-week fluctuations and share the fascinating insights we've uncovered. 

The latter half of the episode takes a more introspective turn as we explore the 'why' behind our podcast. Unlike the mainstream race for maximum downloads and SEO optimization, my aim was less about quantitative success and more about qualitative growth. 

Inspired by Pat Flynn's 'Ask Pat,' our podcast is about honing public speaking skills, creating an intimate listener experience, and delivering resonating solo content to our niche audience. As you tune in, we encourage you to reflect on your own content journey and the bigger purpose it serves. Remember, it's not always about the numbers but the impact you make.
