Cue the jazz hands: EDO Breakthrough has steadily increased its plays and maintains a whopping 71% consumption rate. The takeaway is: we’re hitting our stride together! You’re not just downloading and disappearing. You’re staying engaged, and that means everything to me.
When we launched EDO Breakthrough, I had this vision of creating a Central Perk-esque coffee shop conversation, but for economic development and tourism aficionados. This virtual platform would be a space to tackle those head-scratching challenges that keep us up at night: the ones that your board definitely doesn’t want to hear about at 6:30 PM on a Friday. And you know what? I think we’re actually building that space together.
But I Want to Make It Even Better.
As a results-driven person, I’m thrilled to see these numbers trending upward. Unlike web analytics, where you can pinpoint user behavior, podcasts operate more like radio broadcasts once they’re downloaded. While I know you’re downloading and listening to EDO Breakthrough (thank you!), I want to make sure we’re giving you exactly what you need.
Economic development is hard enough without doing it in isolation. And if EDO Breakthrough can be the place where you don’t feel like such a pioneer tackling these challenges, we’re definitely onto something good. Here are a few questions to help me serve you even better:
Is EDO Breakthrough hitting the mark for your day-to-day work? Do you like hearing about the career pathways of our guests, or do you want us to dive faster into more pressing challenges?
What do you want MORE of? Should we dig deeper into the nitty-gritty of implementation? More case studies? Different types of guests?
What do you want LESS of? Are we spending too much time on theory and not enough on practical application? Are my tea jokes getting old, or worse yet, cold?
Help Me Keep This Momentum Going!
I started EDO Breakthrough because I genuinely believe we’re better when we tackle these challenges together. The growth we’re seeing tells me you agree, but I want to hear it straight from you. Please talk to me or slide into my DMs (do people even say that anymore)? Smoke signals, even. Anything that works for you!
Your engagement is what’s driving this growth, and I want to make sure we keep building something that truly serves our community.
Looking forward to hearing from you (and the numbers prove you’re actually out there)! Contact me here.
