Great quotes from Michelle:

I discovered [when doing video and audio] that I had to cultivate two different audiences and that was more work than I had time to do.

If you don't know your audience in some way, I don't know how you can produce content for them.

If I use the numbers as an indicator of success, then I lose sight of my mission.
