Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com for its-podcasters to get started.

Hey you guys, this is Heidi St. John. Thanks for listening to the podcast today. Today

is Wednesday, and I'm going to be finishing up a series I've been doing called Big Picture

from sort of 35,000 feet. So instead of just being down in them, you know, in just the

everyday grind and just being able to see what's right in front of you, to sort of encourage

you get above it and look down and see not only where you've been, but where you're going.

And a lot of times it helps to just have perspective. I have an Instagram, if you guys

aren't following me on Instagram, you can head on over and do that. I'm just at Heidi

St. John over at Instagram, but I posted a picture. I was cleaning up from Christmas, and

you guys know I had the mice ate all of our Christmas, almost all of our Christmas decorations

this last year. And so I've been on Instagram just trying to, you know, what do I do to keep

them from getting into my stuff this year? So I put peppermint and I put bounce dryer sheets

and I ordered, I don't know, those things off of Amazon that are supposed to keep the mice away.
