As podcasters, it is easy to get caught up in using downloads as our metric for success. However, podcast download numbers are elusive and never totally satisfying. It is a data point that has a metric for success that is always moving and leaves us feeling dissatisfied. Chasing downloads can even make us forget why we created our podcast in the first place.

Here are a few of our personal metrics for success:

• Improve our speech so that we naturally remove filler words (so, like, um, you know....)
• Reach out to "dream guests"
• Say Heck Yes! to opportunities that come our way from podcasting
• Become better interviewers to help facilitate and encourage our guests to share their knowledge and their stories
