Summary
Melinda Wittstock is a 5-time serial entrepreneur in media-tech, and the CEO and founder of Podopolo, the podcast app that makes listening interactive, discovery effortless, and podcasting profitable for creators.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Podopolo is the only app out there built by podcasters, for podcasters as well as for listeners and everybody else. It is a whole ecosystem where everybody wins.
2. Structural problems that prevented creators from easily growing their reach and discoverability, engaging with their fans, knowing their fans, having the deep audience analytics that were actionable to be able to make content more responsive to listeners and viewers.
3. One of the reasons is it can be hard to really discover something new. There's so much to discover, and you have to know what you're looking for.
