As many of you know, #CNF has a problem with consistency. No excuses. It’s a failure on my part.
I’d love to see it keep growing, which it has ever since its inception in 2013.
And, as the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed,” so I plan on sharing a few of the analytics of the 2016 run of the podcast.
NONE of these numbers are staggering. To some, they may even be embarrassing. To that I say, Who cares? You have to start somewhere. I’m choosing to remain positive and to encourage the best out of people. EVERY conversation I had felt meaningful and I enjoyed every second.
