+# Failed Podcast Experiment
+
+Tried launching a weekly podcast alongside the newsletter. The production overhead was too high for the audience growth it generated.
+
+## Hypothesis
+A companion podcast would increase newsletter subscribers by 30% within 3 months.
+
+## Results
+- Produced 8 episodes over 2 months
+- Gained only ~200 new subscribers (vs 2000 target)
+- Each episode took 4-6 hours to produce
+- ROI was negative compared to writing time
+
+## Decision
+Dropped the podcast and reallocated time back to writing. The newsletter remains the primary channel.

+# Deprecated Workflow
+
+An old workflow for managing sponsorship outreach that was replaced by the new CRM-based process. Keeping in trash in case any of the templates are useful later.
+
+## Old Process
+1. Find potential sponsors via LinkedIn
+2. Send cold email using template A
+3. Follow up after 3 days
+4. Schedule call if interested
+
+## Why Deprecated
+The manual process was too slow and error-prone. Switched to automated pipeline with CRM integration.
