I know it's been a little quiet around <em>The Seat</em>, so I wanted to check in.</p><p>After starting a new role as VP of Sales at Cluep on June 1st, it's been a whirlwind of onboarding, travel, and industry events (including Toronto and Cannes), which meant the podcast had to take a brief back seat.</p><p>The good news? Even during the break, <em>The Seat</em> quietly surpassed <strong>2,300 downloads</strong>. I never started this podcast chasing numbers, so seeing the continued support has been incredibly rewarding. Thank you to everyone who's listened, shared an episode, or reached out asking when the next one is coming.</p><p>One listener even texted me, <em>\"Don't deprive your loyal listeners. Give the people what they want!\"</em> Message received.</p><p>I'm back behind the mic this week, recording new conversations with leaders from GumGum, DIRECTV, Albertsons Media Collective, The Weather Channel, and more. New episodes will be rolling out soon, likely on a new bi-weekly cadence so I can continue bringing you thoughtful, high-quality conversations.</p><p>Thanks for sticking with me. I can't wait to share what's next.</p>","author_name":"Ray Erickson"}
