You've been thinking about starting a podcast haven't you?

Well, this is your sign to finally go for it.

Spotify's got a platform that lets you create and distribute a podcast 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 podcasts right from your phone or computer.

So you can start creating today with whatever setup you currently have.

Then you can distribute your podcast to Spotify and everywhere else podcasts are heard.

You can even upload video podcasts and engage with your listeners with polls and Q&A.

You can also earn money through ads, podcast subscriptions, and more.

And did I mention it's free?

I know my listeners enjoy being able to interact with the show without having to leave the app.

And I enjoy reading their responses to my episodes.

So what are you waiting for?

Download the Spotify for Podcasters app or go to Spotify.com slash podcasters to get started.

Your audience is waiting.

I usually like to open every episode with some thought-provoking intro.

And we've a thematic connection throughout, but at the time of this recording,

I'm finding it very difficult to come up with anything insightful to say.

I lost my dog Zisu a few days ago and the loss is hitting me harder than I could have ever prepared for.

Actually, when this episode goes live, it will be what would have been his 13th birthday.

I know I speak about loss and grief on this show all the time and have helped many of you through

yours and yet I can't seem to take my own advice right now.
