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 forward slash podcasters to get started.

so many hills we'd died on, so many things that we were like, wow, that just was not the

brightest thing we ever did. And hopefully you're going to be able to learn from some of

our blenders and just some things that we learned along the way. Before we continue today,

I want to remind you that our podcast is sponsored. And today, we're actually getting ready to, or I

am getting ready to speak in Oklahoma City for the Oklahoma's Oklahoma Homeschool Association.

And I'm excited about doing that. A couple of reasons why I think homeschoolers need encouragement.

First of all, everyone thinks we're crazy.

Homeschoolers need to stick together because most people look at homeschoolers and think why would a

woman in her in her right mind choose to do that? I've asked myself the same question some days.
