I'm Shaline Johnson and you're listening to the process of reverse engineering a really difficult decision.

Now if you haven't already listened to the episode I released last Friday entitled The End.

I'd love to strongly suggest you go back and listen to that.

I promise it's really interesting. You'll hear it from my kids, my husband, my sister.

It's like reality TV but in the form of a podcast.

I promise it will make so much more sense when you arrive back to this episode.

And this is not a normal episode for this particular podcast.

But I'm hearing amazing things. Our subscribers have just gone through the roof.

The outpouring of support and feedback and interest in the show to be honest has made my decision even tougher.

So without further ado and I never thought I would say this.

Last week on the Shaline show.

Well this was supposed to be my farewell episode.

Obviously it's taking a ton of time and I want to figure out return on investment.

And he pulled me aside on one of their time outs. Look me right in the eyes and said,

what's going on with this podcasting?

The primary purpose of the podcast is that attracting the new people that we want to attract.

And I guess that's because deep down, I'm not sure I'm convinced this makes sense.

The consensus is that I need to stop podcasting.

And are you doing the weekly? Weekly?

Give me the program here's this dirt.

What I didn't expect to happen was to fall in love.

You know you're doing your part. I mean the rest of us do it.
