I’m in the middle of a big decision and could really use outside thoughts. Two months ago, I niched down into helping podcasters by editing short-form content. but as AI tools get better and cheaper, I’m starting to feel like this service is quickly becoming a commodity …and that’s not a position I want to be in long term. Because of that, I’m considering shifting my model toward helping larger content creators launch and operate paid Skool communities. The idea is that instead of selling edits, I’d be directly involved in the bottom line But Here’s the problem: This pivot feels like I’m giving up too early on something I just started. It feels uncomfortably close to shiny object syndrome …something most successful founders warn against. At the same time, staying in a model I don’t believe in also feels wrong. I’ve decided that by the end of this week, I’ll commit to one direction and stick with it for the next five years, no pivots, no bouncing around …just consistency and execution. That’s why this feels heavy and important to me. Remember I asked for help … I meant feedback from veterans business owners… How do you distinguish between a strategic pivot and quitting too soon? And is this something you would do… Appreciate any honest input.

I just finished watching the first course, “Layout Strategy.” Honestly, it didn’t feel like just a guide to building a podcast. A lot of the principles actually clicked for me in terms of building a business overall ..the idea of overcoming the gap and actually tactically planning what type of audience you wanna attract Really hooked now and excited to get through the rest of the course 🙌

Hi all - Any good advice for raising the volume of a guest's voice on Riverside? It's a little quiet on the recording and I'm just noticing it as I've begun editing. Thank you!
