In this episode, Alex Sanfilippo, founder of PodMatch, reveals why focusing on what really matters is the secret to skyrocketing your podcast growth.

We also unpack why trying to replicate what other successful hosts are doing might be causing listeners to overlook your show, and how mastering a handful of key tactics can speed up your podcast’s success. Plus, Alex shares his powerful four-question approach to understanding your audience on a deeper level.
