There's no such thing as too long only too boring

What It Means

Content length isn't the problem - lack of interesting, insightful, or useful information is what causes people to stop consuming

Why It Matters

Removes artificial constraints on content length and focuses attention on value delivery rather than arbitrary time limits

When It's True

When content provides continuous value, insights, or entertainment that justifies the time investment

When It's Risky

When rambling without purpose, when audience has limited attention spans, or when format demands brevity (like social media)

How to Apply

1

Focus on value density rather than arbitrary length targets

2

Test longer content to see if audience stays engaged

3

Use engagement metrics rather than length as success indicator

4

Pack content with insights, stories, and actionable information

Example Scenario

Podcast episode runs 90 minutes but maintains high engagement because it's packed with specific tactics, personal stories, and actionable frameworks rather than filler content.
