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 forward slash podcasters to get started.

I was thinking about the sunset in terms of disappearing into the horizon, and it was

a powerful reminder to me that time is passing. It's so easy for us to give our very best

to strangers in whose lives we have almost no influence, and yet we can give our own

family in whose lives we have such deep influence and effect, the leftovers. One of the first

places that we tend to do this is in our marriage, and I've said this over and over again, but
