Specificity is something that I talk about a lot here on Grow The Show.
Overall, It is my belief that the more specific your podcast is, the better chance it will have of growing and being monetized because it will have a better chance of deeply resonating with your audience.
In this quick hit episode of GTS, I'm going to share a way to make it way easier for you to get more specific with your podcast. Plus, I'll share an example of a creator who found great success by getting very specific with their own premise.
