A few weeks ago I sat down to plan my July content, iced coffee in hand, feeling very smug about my calendar. Twenty minutes later I put the pen down, because I was about to teach the same idea in three different places, and every version was bad. That little moment turned into the biggest restructure I've made to my content in years. And it ends with a brand new daily podcast.

This one's for you if you're juggling a podcast, a YouTube channel, an email list, and a community, and every single one feels heavier than it should. You're working harder than ever and you can't tell what any of it is accomplishing. Good news. The problem was never your effort. It's that nobody ever gave your channels a job description.

In this episode:

What's changing with the podcast and YouTube, and why going audio-only made the show better
Introducing The Diary of a Community Builder, my brand new free daily podcast
The one rule that made every decision easy: one channel, one job
Why a flat channel is usually miscast, not failing
Three things to noodle on this week, iced coffee in hand
How to spot the content you're already making that has no home
