Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can 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 podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com for its such podcasters to get started.

All right, Crystal. Welcome back to the podcast. Thanks for having me back. So this is fun

for me, just looking through the table of contents of your book. And we spent sort of

Wednesday kind of talking about owning our stories and sort of the ugly cry and where

we sort of start and the hard places of life. Today, I want to sort of take listeners

to a different, to a different topic along the same lines, but let's skip ahead to the

redemption part and talk about what it means to live with focus. Because you said that

the first half of your book, well, let you say that. I'm tell listeners what you were

just telling me. So the first half of brick is what versus the second half?
