Our Future Plans For The Mere Mortals | Less Video & More Audio
About this episode
To celebrate a milestone we're giving you a glimpse at the closest thing we've ever had to a business meeting (lol).
In Episode #400 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: dropping the care towards video because we're not YouTubers, general strategies around our use of social media, splitting the podcast into multiple audio streams vs just one feed, ideas around a potential fitness format and spicy questions of why we could break up.
Thanks to everyone who's joined us all this way, there's plenty more to come!
