Hello and Happy New Year Podnerds! 

Welcome to episode 047 of the VA Podcast - our first episode for January 2019 and not only is it our first Bizversary, (see noun; business - anniversary, to mark a significant period in business) it's also the time of year that we're FLOODED with "planning for the next twelve months" or, "pick your 'word' for next year" type. 

We're really, indecently not up for that 'round here. 

So, instead today we're getting some tough love from the #fairypodmother herself on the web of lies being woven by those who would proclaim to make you number 1 on the iTunes charts in a week or less for a small fee. 

We're covering:

• Three podcasts that are wildly successful in iTunes because they successfully model three key things
• Do you really want to be number one, or are you participating in another "whose most popular" peeing contest? 
• Three key things you can focus on that will help your show be successful now and forever
• Your KPI's and Purpose of Podcasting, again (I know I know, you're sick of me banging on about it!)

Enjoy this earworm, and return the favour by leaving us a 5-star rating and review in iTunes!
