Shownotes
I stopped putting the numbers off the front of every episode title. No more episode 1, episode 47, episode 152 sitting at the front. I know...that number feels important, credible, official...like proof you have been showing up. So naturally, pulling it off can make your stomach drop a little. This episode is about why I did it anyway.
This one is for you whether you have not published a single episode yet or you have a hundred of them sitting in your feed and you feel weirdly attached to those numbers like I did for years. You will walk away knowing who that number is actually for, what it is quietly costing you in search and in the apps, and the simple two part strategy that serves your listener far better than a number ever did, all without losing your episode count.
In This Episode You'll Learn:

- Whether the number belongs in your show notes instead, and the honest answer
