251. The Journey to Top 1%: Consistency, Focus, and Listening to Our Audience

Mar 7

Hey you wild women!

In this episode, we’re taking a moment to celebrate a milestone this podcast has reached. After a recent glitch with Spotify, our global rank dropped. This was devastating to see after showing up consistently for every single episode for so long, but we continued to pursue our goals.

The result? Staying focused and consistent worked. Recently, after checking in on our stats, we found out that Into the Wild has become part of the top 1% podcasts in the world. This is proof that being persistent, taking in feedback from the audience, and not letting excuses get in the way really does pay off.
