Speaker:
00:00:01
Hey friends.
2
:
00:00:02
It's your host, Julie Brown.
3
:
00:00:04
And today's episode is going
to be a little bit different.
4
:
00:00:09
I want to sit down with you.
5
:
00:00:11
One-on-one to let you know what's
happening with this podcast going forward.
6
:
00:00:16
First, let me start by saying
how much your support has meant
7
:
00:00:20
to me throughout this journey.
8
:
00:00:22
When I started this podcast during
the chaos of that first COVID
9
:
00:00:27
summer in 2020, I never imagined
the incredible connections.
10
:
00:00:31
It would bring both with you.
11
:
00:00:34
My wonderful listeners.
12
:
00:00:36
But also the remarkable guests
who have graced these episodes.
13
:
00:00:40
And shared their knowledge.
14
:
00:00:41
Each episode has been a treasure
trove of wisdom, laughter and
15
:
00:00:46
countless shared experiences.
16
:
00:00:49
But life has a way of presenting
new opportunities and challenges.
17
:
00:00:52
Doesn't it.
18
:
00:00:54
And right now I find myself at a
crossroads, a juncture, or I need
19
:
00:00:58
to make a difficult decision.
20
:
00:01:00
You see.
21
:
00:01:01
Lately, my travel schedule has been a
whirlwind between jetting off to deliver
22
:
00:01:06
keynotes and workshops and delving
into research for a potential new book.
23
:
00:01:11
My plate is simply overflowing.
24
:
00:01:15
And while these ventures
are undoubtedly exciting.
25
:
00:01:19
They also demand.
26
:
00:01:21
My end divided attention.
27
:
00:01:23
The idea for this book has been
bringing in my mind for some time.
28
:
00:01:27
It's a project close to my heart.
29
:
00:01:29
One aimed at empowering generation Z
guiding college students through the
30
:
00:01:33
maze of networking in our shoring them
into the world of their first jobs.
31
:
00:01:38
I firmly believe in the importance of
instilling these skills early on, and I'm
32
:
00:01:42
committed to bringing this vision to life.
33
:
00:01:46
So because of all of this and after
much contemplation and soul, searching.
34
:
00:01:50
I've come to the realization that I need
to step away from the podcast for awhile.
35
:
00:01:55
It's not a decision I've made lightly.
36
:
00:01:57
Believe me.
37
:
00:01:57
This podcast has been my sanctuary.
38
:
00:02:00
It's like an old friend and
a constant source of joy and
39
:
00:02:03
connection during turbulent times.
40
:
00:02:06
But this is not the end of the podcast.
41
:
00:02:09
It's not a goodbye, but rather a
SIA in a little bit kind of thing.
42
:
00:02:14
Right now, the time that I dedicate each
week to the podcast needs to be time.
43
:
00:02:18
I spend focusing on crafting
a compelling book proposal.
44
:
00:02:22
One that I hope will catch the IVR
publisher or agent who shares my passion
45
:
00:02:27
for empowering the next generation.
46
:
00:02:29
And if you have any connections
in that world, please pretty,
47
:
00:02:33
please make an introduction for me.
48
:
00:02:35
If you feel comfortable.
49
:
00:02:37
And who knows.
50
:
00:02:38
Perhaps this hiatus will only be
the beginning of new and exciting
51
:
00:02:42
chapters for this podcast.
52
:
00:02:44
I'll be keeping in touch, sharing
updates, some new episodes along
53
:
00:02:48
the way and eagerly anticipating
the day when we can reconvene and
54
:
00:02:52
continue our weekly get togethers.
55
:
00:02:56
In the meantime, I encourage you to
revisit some of our past episodes to
56
:
00:03:00
cherish the wisdom and insights they hold.
57
:
00:03:03
And remember this isn't farewell.
58
:
00:03:05
It's simply a pause.
59
:
00:03:07
A chance for me to embark on a new
adventure while holding onto the cherished
60
:
00:03:11
memories we've created here together.
61
:
00:03:14
So friends.
62
:
00:03:16
I bid you farewell for now.
63
:
00:03:18
With a heart full of gratitude and
excitement for the journey ahead.
64
:
00:03:24
And until we meet again regularly, take
care, stay curious, and keep networking
65
:
00:03:30
and meeting new people where ever you go.
66
:
00:03:35
And now onto the drink of the week.
67
:
00:03:37
Come on, you knew I wasn't going
to end this episode without a
68
:
00:03:40
farewell drink and today's drink
is the farewell fizz cocktail.
69
:
00:03:45
And here's what you're going to need.
70
:
00:03:46
One ounce of gin, two ounces of simple
syrup, a half ounce of lemon juice, and
71
:
00:03:50
then champagne combine the gin syrup and
lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled
72
:
00:03:54
with ice and shake vigorously and strain.
73
:
00:03:56
Into an odd cold champagne glass,
and then top with champagne.
74
:
00:04:01
All right, friends.
75
:
00:04:02
That is all for this week.
76
:
00:04:05
