or the first time in seven years, we got the whole team in one room and did something uncomfortable: we audited our own podcast.
Eight people, one question on the table - if we rebuilt this from scratch, what would it actually be? What came out of it changed how we think about nearly everything we make.
We sit down with Di Foster to work through what's changing and why: why \"platform-driven content\" is reshaping how they approach every show; treating YouTube as a shop window and audio as a routine, and what that means for the work; the football-team analogy for figuring out who plays which role as the team grows; managing contractors and when to bring them in-house; refining five company values down to three; and why the smartest growth move right now is consolidation - slowing down to speed up, no shiny new things.
An honest look at what it takes to keep building a podcast business well past the garage-and-a-microphone stage.
Thank you to Odoo for supporting Accidental Business Owners.
