You are an amazing organization with an ever-improving website. My understanding (based mostly on resources from you, tbh) is that you have a huge role in guiding people through their early days of EA and beyond. 

Maybe you're working on some of this already, but if not:

(1) It would have important ramifications for the whole EA community if you did more research/follow-up on how your website & coaching impacts people in the long term (and the EA-type work they end up doing). We need to figure out what is convincing whom. And what it exactly is convincing them to do. As a site/org with so much reach, you're optimally positioned to do this.

Clarification: I know you do the voluntary email surveys -- by research I mean like rigorously designed academic-type research. 

(2)  My non-EA^[1] friends still freak out when I send them to your site. (Mostly: Despite what one might guess given their general intelligence, they get overwhelmed by how quickly the website expands to overwhelming options for where they might next click for further information). Maybe additional user testing would help? 

(3) More importantly, they're not convinced by most of your problem profiles (and many of the ones they want to read are out of date). They want both more rigor (since the ask is for them to change their career trajectory) and more frequent updates. The only idea I have for how to fix this is to hire more staff.   

(4) I love nuance as much as the next EA, and I really appreciate the summaries in your podcasts. If you have extra space though, maybe consider doing the thing Krista Tippet of On Being does where there's an essential/edited version of the podcast and also the extended one? I'm not sure if this makes sense for your target listener, but if it does, maybe it would help grow your audience further. 

Thank you again for all the info over the years.

   Though I like to think of them as "pre-EA" ;)
