Being open to receiving feedback is crucial for growth, especially as we head into 2025. If podcasters are unwilling to listen to their audience, they risk repeating the same mistakes and achieving the same results. This episode delves into the importance of having a receptive mindset regarding advice and input from listeners. Today, I share anecdotes and examples, including the cautionary tale of Elizabeth Holmes and the pitfalls of ignoring expert advice.

What Is Your Favorite Podcast in 2024 and WHY?
If you could only pick ONE show as "Your favorite in 2024" Here is what I need: The name of the show. The website address. A little bit about it, and then go AS LONG AS YOU WANT as to WHY it is your favorite. Then tell us your show's name, the website address, and a little bit about it (so I can add you to the show notes).
