Hi Reader!

As we're about to enter the last quarter of the year, I have to ask you...

Where are you in the goals you set for your podcast in the beginning of the year?

And please don't stop reading if you're not where you were expecting to be by now! Instead, I want you to ask yourself these follow-up questions:

• Did you fall out of love with your current podcast?
• Did you experience a 180 degree life change?
• Did you get burned out from trying a lot of different strategies and none worked?
• Did you actually stay focused on testing and improving one task for a period of at least 90 days?

Last night I got to talk privately to a few podcasters who shared they have been struggling with some of the above, and therefore they felt they didn't really know why they were podcasting anymore.

They lost their WHY.

And when you lose your why, you also lose your connecting thread among all the tasks, inspiration, and energy for every episode.

So going back to the exercise I asked earlier:

• Do you need to revisit your podcast goals for the last quarter of the year with a new perspective? Or
• Do you just need to hop back into the saddle and keep your focus going for the next 90 days?

If you're lost in your options, remember that you can go back and listen to my most popular episode, 7 Goals You can Set for Your Podcast to get some clarity.

Stuff you need to know about:

• Google Podcasts is closing down soon - which means Google (who owns YouTube) is about to double down on their efforts to push listeners to YouTube Music (and YouTube Podcasts). If your podcast is audio-only, wait a bit longer, as they're working on integrating your audio feed before the end of the year
• As we're celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month here in the US, here's an interesting article about what are Mexican listeners interested in (use the Translation feature available in your browser to read the full article)
• I'll be live with Captivate on YouTube to break down the topic of analytics (in a non-nerdy way!). Get the details here!
