This podcast is a personal journey for me. I'm restarting a blog after over a decade away from writing. The focus is not on growing an audience or gaining recognition but rather on finding a creative outlet for self-expression.
I'm excited to explore new podcasting features for personal enjoyment, without any pressure or expectations.
Feel free to engage and support, but there's no obligation. This journey is about rediscovering my writing, reconnecting with my thoughts, and enjoying being behind the mic again.

If you're listening to this podcast, first off, I'm sorry, this is kind of for me.
Speaker A:
If it's for you, that's cool.
Speaker A:
This is all about me restarting a blog.
Speaker A:
It'd been over ten years since I'd published there, and I thought it was time to start over.
Speaker A:
Not for readers really, just for me.
Speaker A:
And that's what the blog is about.
Speaker A:
And that's what this podcast is about.
Speaker A:
So going back to the blog, it's really about me.
Speaker A:
Processing, getting back to writing, working some stuff out without any of the pressure to grow or to try and serve an audience or anything like that, or trying to get some kind of gain out of it.
Speaker A:
Just a creative outlet.
Speaker A:
And if you, as a reader, enjoy that blog, you find it valuable.
Speaker A:
That's cool.
Speaker A:
I'm glad for you.
Speaker A:
Similarly, this podcast is for me.
Speaker A:
I have submitted it to the directories.
Speaker A:
If you want to share it, you're welcome to.
Speaker A:
But I'm not trying to grow this show because it's for me, because I like being behind the mic and because there are some new features in the podcasting space that I want to try out of, and I want to do it on a show that has no pressure.
Speaker A:
There are some things with the podcast media host that I'm currently using captivate, some AI tools that I think are pretty cool.
Speaker A:
There are some new features within the podcasting space in the value for value area.
Speaker A:
So if you look at the show notes, you'll see a link.
Speaker A:
If you want to support the show, you can.
Speaker A:
If you found some value, I'd encourage you to give something back.
Speaker A:
Whatever you think it's worth to you.
Speaker A:
There are some ways to connect to me, but I don't plan to try to really promote the show.
Speaker A:
I'm not trying to grow it or get on as a guest, although I am open to opportunities to be interviewed.
Speaker A:
I'm not trying to get my name out there.
Speaker A:
I'm just trying to do this for me.
Speaker A:
If you want to follow the show, you're welcome to do that.
Speaker A:
It should be available in pretty much any podcast app out there.
Speaker A:
If you want to follow the blog, I'd suggest you check out an RSS reader like feedly or you follow me on mastodon or threads.
Speaker A:
I've got some links available for that, but I'm not.
Speaker A:
I'm not going to start an email newsletter.
Speaker A:
Or at least I don't have any plans to.
Speaker A:
And I don't have any expectations for you I'm not asking you to do anything for me.
Speaker A:
I'm not tracking this.
Speaker A:
I'm not trying to get ads or affiliate links or anything like that.
Speaker A:
Maybe some words or pictures, some videos, some stuff like that.
Speaker A:
And if you find it valuable, I appreciate it if you could share something back.
Speaker A:
If not, that's okay.
Speaker A:
It's not for you.
Speaker A:
It's for me.
Speaker A:
And I hope you're doing well.
Speaker A:
And I hope that if you need an outlet like this at some point in your life, you have the opportunity to do that as well.
