Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of HockBlogger Mornings. I am Brian

M. Houser. You can find me and all the things that we do on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,

at HockBlogger. We'd love to have you follow us on all of those places. If you haven't

gone to Instagram, you haven't gone to TikTok, follow us there, growing and having a lot of fun in those locations as well. You can get our

audio on Apple Podcast, Spotify, wherever you get your audio podcast, it should show up there.

If you want to give us a five-star review, we would really, really appreciate it. It's really great.

It helps us grow the show, which helps us get better guests and give you better content and all that stuff. So anytime you want to give us a

Patreon.com slash HawkBlogger. That is also where you can get access to the Discord server.

I think it's almost impossible for it to be.

But I do think there'll be some things that come up.
