Most creators chase viewers, subscribers, and downloads. But that's the wrong metric. THE BIG SHIFT: From Audience to Community The difference is simple: An audience listens to you. A community talks WITH you. As Doc put it on this week's show: "By nature of the word audience, it's to listen to somebody...

Hi Reader, You've been asking for it, and it's finally here: Dual Mode is heading into beta. What is Dual Mode? Record and stream landscape and vertical video at the same time.
