How to diagnose podcast discovery before it becomes expensive

with Tobi Adeyemi · 19 min · 13 Sept 2026

Podcast discovery for a creator-business executive rarely fails because downloads are low. It fails when you cannot name which decision in the chain is broken—press play, stay, return, or tell someone—and what that blind spot costs you. This episode gives you a plain-language diagnostic for flat downloads, weak play-to-follower conversion, and a return rate you haven’t measured yet. Tobi Adeyemi maps the five decision moments, the two you can actually observe, and the thresholds that separate a leak from a repeatability problem. You’ll leave knowing the exact order to fix things, and reach is always last. Subscribe to Gbeya Intelligence for applied distribution diagnostics like this.

The operating metrics that make controls measurable — The Creator Money Office

The operating metrics that make controls measurable

That payments screen tab? It's not a mistake—it's a missing control. For an agency or team operator, the gap between due dates and paid dates is the distance between the business you think you run and the one your bank account lives in. This episode of The Creator Money Office is a controls for agency / team operator foundation: which operating metrics actually distinguish motion from meaningful progress. You'll learn the four questions every real control must answer, why gross margin per delivery hour outranks revenue and activity, and how to spot the quiet tells that signal money leaking through your stack. If you're ready to replace dashboard noise with owned, sequenced signals, Gbeya's coaching can help you build the first version.

The operating metrics that make sponsor readiness measurable — The Sponsorship Desk

The operating metrics that make sponsor readiness measurable

Sponsor readiness for agency and team operators is not about how many brands feel warm—it is about which commitments you can count. In this episode, host Grace Lin breaks down the operating metrics that separate real pipeline progress from busy motion, using the rung count to score every prospect by the highest commitment they have actually made. If your top-rung count is zero or your pitch-to-commitment rate is under five percent, you are not facing a volume problem—you are facing a qualification problem. Learn which metrics to pull from your tracker, the sixty-day pruning rule, and where your next hour should go. Gbeya turns sponsor readiness into a decision system you can run week after week.
