Can I tell you something funny? I was going to kick today's episode off by reading one of the reviews that you would left and

There have been no new reviews since

November when I last read one of the reviews.

And I decided to share that anyways

for any other podcasters who listen

or any other creatives, I think it can just be so easy sometimes to think that if only I was bigger, etc.

You know, and I just, I always find it helpful when people are honest about whatever they're behind

the scenes are. and I know so many

fellow creatives listening so I would be so grateful if you would tap pause swipe up

leave a review we are seven away from 1,100 and I just love a good round number to kick off the year.

So thank you to Katie Hart, Vanessa Donahue, Ellie Kackel, who left them in November and all the cute

user names that weren't names names but truly showing love to small businesses

in the form of reviews on a podcast on Instagram with your likes, your comments.

Tapping that save button on Instagram

is like 10 times the value of a like

as far as the Instagram algorithm.

It is a totally free way to make a huge difference

in the efforts of any small business or creator that you appreciate.

So on behalf of small businesses, thank you in advance for the version of applause at a music concert

or standing ovation at the end of a theater performance that

is your engagement on podcasts and Instagram to support those businesses that you love and

appreciate in 2021.
