Sleuth Hounds. Have you ever considered creating your own podcast? Have you been inspired by listening to some of your favorites and thought, I'd love to try this out on my own? Whether it's a true crime podcast like ours, a motivational podcast, or maybe one filled with tips and strategies for those interested in the same activities you are? When Maggie and I first decided

to start our podcast, we knew absolutely nothing about what podcasting would entail. But when we found that

the platform BuzzSpout was one for which we didn't need any special equipment, just a computer

microphone, some quiet space, and each other, we knew that this was the way to go.

It is intuitive to use, fun to play around with, and so helpful in getting analytical data about

our number of downloads to track trends and from where our listeners hail.

Best yet, Buzz Sprout is affordable, even by our teacher salary standards.

Buzz Sprout will get your podcast listed on every major podcasting platform. So, what are you waiting for? Fulfill that dream

of yours and start today. If you use our coffee in case as referral code, 709-643 linked on Facebook

already using Buzz Sprout to get their

message out to the world. Now it's time for the world to hear what you have to say. We talk a lot about

struggles on this show and just in life in general. People struggle to lose weight, struggle to find a job,

struggle with addiction, struggle with death.

We like to try to justify the struggle.

We've been conditioned to believe that we'll enjoy life more.

Take more from life if we struggle.

Thomas Payne wrote, quote, the harder the conflict, the more glorious, the triumph.

So just smile through your struggles and it'll be okay in the end.

That's what we want to believe.
