It helps the algorithm. It helps me to get on a much larger scale. The goal is to be able to have lucrative sponsorships so I can get my voice and message out to the world. And I've kind of been hiding from the camera lately because I'm so focused on my content and making sure I'm speaking about something relevant that I, at the end of a session or the end of a pod I haven't had the time or the means to do the video, but I will be back to that and I told all of you, stay tuned for exciting things. Oh, before I forget, roger, thank you so much for your loyal subscription and I hope things are going better for you with your challenges that you've been facing, because you know, I believe in my heart of hearts that everything happens for a reason, including my day turning to shit, um.

Anyway, I don't really have much to talk about today other than lots of new exciting guests, as you all know, possibly a new host or co-host coming your way along with me. Stay tuned for that. It's still kind of in the works, still kind of brewing. And, yes, I got a lot of feedback on the dating pod and the guests and thank you for all of your commentary. Really appreciate that. Would very much love to hear if anybody else has any additional feedback to share along with that.

So I'm going to be kind of MIA for the next couple days. Lots going on on getting ready to go back to school, need to squeeze in a little vacay beach getaway, fingers crossed waiting on um chanel's dog sitter results. So, fingers crossed, prayer sent out, positive thoughts sent out to the universe. It's always a challenge for us, especially when we find out kind of last minute. Let's see, I don't really have anything to share other than been working on my karaoke, going out and having fun, bumping into friends, supporting local bands. Does anybody have anything to share for this Wisdom Wellness Wednesday? Like, how has your week been so far? What did you do over the weekend?

Speaker 1: 6:17

I'll be honest, guys, like I said, I don't have much to talk about tonight because just everything kind of threw me into a tailspin and by the time I got on here I'm like I don't even know what I'm going to talk about. My guest didn't show up, my other guest something happened Again, mercury in retrograde. Gotta love it. If you don't know about it now you know. If you still don't know, look it up. And if you believe in astrology and the moon and the stars, well, you can read about it and see it's a thing. Anywho, just want to say thank you all for listening, thank you all for being loyal listeners. I appreciate you and next Monday, hopefully, I'll have a guest and more exciting topics to discuss and much more to share. But as of now I kind of am at a loss for words just because of how the day went. But good things are coming down the pipe. So stay tuned, don't give up on me, and I look forward to seeing your likes, your comments, your feedback.
