Great podcast! It was actually very interesting to listen about fears. Especially I liked the last advice: what to do with unwanted email :) That was funny)
In my practice, I use different tools that keep my confidence in email marketing: statistics, pop-ups which are collecting leads, some ads, https://hunter.io/ for finding emails and https://proofy.io/ for verifying emails. In this scenario I always have the actual list, for outbound and inbound.
