Hey it's Antries and I hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays. I cannot believe that 2018 is almost over, but I did want to take a moment to thank you for listening to the SaviPainer podcast.

You know, a few weeks ago we passed an incredible milestone.

Savi Painter has been downloaded more than 2 million times by artists all over the globe.

Last week I got to celebrate with a couple of you in Los Angeles where I currently am and

it was really fun so I'm really grateful for those of you who were able to come out.

I was a little bit bummed that I didn't get to see that happen in real time though.

I was watching it when we hit a million downloads.

It's kind of like watching your odometer flip over.

There's something just so gratifying about it.

Regardless, I'm grateful for all of you who listen,

who write in to tell me how you're doing. And for those of you who listen, who write in to tell me how you're doing, and for those of you who support the

podcast financially. It would not be possible without you, so thank you so very much.

Sometimes when we're working so hard, it's really easy to overlook how far we've come. And the end of the year is the perfect time to look back and appreciate some of the wonderful accomplishments opportunities and people who've helped us.

In 2018, I was invited to participate in a beta program with Pandora.

So far, the most difficult part was keeping my mouth shut for months.

They told me about it I think it was in June or May or something like that and I was not allowed to say a word

until just recently because they were working so hard to put their

channels together. So if you haven't heard about it, it's because only in the last

month that I've been able to even mention it. It was such a huge, huge honor to be selected to participate

in their early release of their podcasting platform and to be in such great company with some

other podcasters they have chosen for their

beta program. So you can listen to the savvy painter podcast on Pandora's mobile
