Want to make a podcast? Spotify's got a platform that lets you make one super easily, 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 your podcasts right from your phone or your computer. So no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today. Then you can distribute

your podcast to Spotify and everywhere else podcasts are heard. Video podcasts are also available on Spotify.

And when you want to take conversations with your fans to the next level, Q&As and polls are the

best way to get them talking. With Spotify for podcasters, you can earn money in a variety of ways,

including ads and podcast subscriptions. Ever since I discovered Spotify for podcasters, I feel so

supported in the creation and distribution of my show. Spotify for podcasters hosts masterclasses,

office hours, and more to help creators develop and fine tune their skills. I highly recommend

you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters app or go to Spotify.com slash podcasters to get

started. Hey guys. What's up? Welcome to her back to the show. My name's Lily. I'm your host. I am just like my jaw is on the floor. I have had a week and I was editing this episode.

Computer crashed, lost everything.

Everything.

And I just started laughing.

Like, I couldn't even cry.

I might cry now.

But I couldn't even, like my jaw was just on the floor and lost everything.

I mean, that's what happens when you work in any sort of digital space. But I was like, you have got to be kidding me. You've got to be freaking kidding me right now.

And it was probably one of my favorite episodes that I've recorded because it was super

candid, super fun, and I had put hours into it at that point. So I'm like, what am I supposed to do?

So literally that just happened. It's Friday morning. For a second, I was like, I'm just,

you know, fuck it throwing in the towel. I'm not going to re-record.

But then I was like, you know what? No, I liked this topic. I thought that the episode was fun.

I have notes, so I at least kind of know the direction that I was going in. One of the mantras that I like to live by, or I don't even know if it's a mantra, maybe just more of philosophy or whatever. But if something doesn't go your way, it's because something better was supposed to happen.
