What's up? What's going on? Welcome to this edition of the Shaline Show. This is

Car Smart Friday. Please put on your seatbelt because we are going for a ride.

So if you are new here, welcome. I appreciate you.

Fridays are super chill. They're definitely more informal. If you're new, be sure to

click the follow button on most podcast apps. It used to be on the Apple podcast. You'd

click the subscribe button. Now if you go to the upper right hand corner and tap the buttons

on most podcast apps you're listening to, you will have to click follow. On some of them,

you still click subscribe. But most of them, they have gone to follow. I know that's for

sure the case with Spotify. And by the way, we are definitely on Spotify. Anyways, if

you're new here, thanks for being here. I do appreciate you to give you a little rundown

of what you can expect. Mondays and Wednesdays, I do episodes where there's a takeaway. Meaning

there's action steps. There's something to be learned. I usually bring on an expert

or if I don't bring on an expert, then I'm going to do a ton of research. I'm going to

speak to experts. I'm going to give you takeaways. There's something valuable in that. On

Fridays, however, I just chat with you. It's like girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend,

girlfriend, a guy friend, whatever. I really just think about like, okay, if I was leaving

a voice mail message for my very best friend, which by the way, I do this with my girlfriends,

I will record for them. I call them personal podcasts. And I'll just be in my car and

I'll open up the voice memo or voice note app on my iPhone. Is that what happens? Hold

on. Let me look. What app is it? Because I mean, is there anything more annoying when a friend

sends you one of those really long voice messages? And every time your phone shuts off or goes

to whatever sleep, then you have to freaking start the message over and over and over again.
