What Quitting Our Blog Taught Us About Growth and Focus

Here are the show notes for Episode #14 of Young House Love Has A Podcast, a recording of the closing talk we gave at the 2016 Haven Conference in Atlanta, GA. In this special episode we share what we learned after taking nearly 12 months off from blogging. We outline five key lessons that became clear in hindsight, explain why we stepped away, describe what we would do differently now, and discuss new challenges creators face in a hyper-connected online world.
