And now, right now, as I'm recording this, we're actually hosting podcast summer camp, and so there's eight amazing souls in a group with us and we are setting up brand new shows for them and I'm showing them just how easy podcasting can be and you can start your own podcast too. So be on the lookout for that as a course coming out in the next few weeks or the next few months, as we take the most important lessons that we learn in creating the podcast and I can bring them to you so that you can do it too.

So what's been going on? Since the last time I've done a solo episode? So much? I've done a bunch of open mics where I have been sharing my stories.

I'm so excited. We're gearing up for the next one, so be on the lookout for the free tickets to the next summit.

Speaker 1: 5:00

This podcast was featured as a must listen to podcast for leading a better life. I don't know the exact title. That's why I'm saying it with like a question at the end title. That's why I'm saying it was like a question at the end. And then I was also named in the top five most inspirational women to follow 2024. So be sure to go check those out somewhere on my profile. I'll make sure to link those down below. If you're listening to this, you can check it out in the show notes or in the comments down below. So yeah, but that's been really, really exciting, in addition to going to PodFest last year and I submitted my form to be selected as a speaker. So we haven't heard back yet, but I will let you guys know as soon as I find out if I'm gonna be speaking at PodFest next year. It's gonna be in Orlando and it's gonna be in January, so keep an eye out for that. If you have or would like to have a podcast. Podcast is amazing and I'll bring you more information and if I get an affiliate link, I will share that with you guys as well.

Speaker 1: 6:04

Um, cool, um, I also studied and took my test and I became a meta certified um community manager, and so that was kind of exciting. So we did that back in June, and so I got to add that to my resume as well, and it was just edifying what I already do for my clients, right, helping you guys manage your content, helping you analyze those numbers, revive communities, make more money with your businesses. And so I got to take that test and I passed, and then if there was a special program, a meta program that allowed me that, they gave me a voucher so I was able to take the test for free, because you can totally study for any of these tests for free, but you do have to pay to take the test. And so if I see them running another promotion like that, let me know down below, make sure you subscribe to my email newsletter, follow me on social media and let me know if that's something that's interesting to you and I will keep you updated. On the next time. If they run another promotion like that, another voucher program, and so you can take your test, let me know. And if you want to take your test anyway, um, hit me up and I can show you how you can do that. You can actually Google it. I'm getting meta certified Um and you can check out those courses and, like I said, the courses are absolutely free and you just have to take pay to take the test um, to get certified Um and yeah, and so that was really fun and it was really cool, and I get to add that to my resume now and just provide my clients, you guys, with even more support and just know that it is, um, legit, I guess, right, cool and I don't know.

Speaker 1: 7:52

There's a lot of other stuff that's going on behind the scenes. I'm going to be sending out my book finally to beta readers coming up sometime, hopefully by the time this airs. It's already been sent out, but be on the lookout, because that means the book is going to be coming out, hopefully by the end of this year. I'm really excited and I would love to do a end of year, beginning of year push with my book. I think it's just absolutely perfect and so hopefully the stars align and that's what we get done.

Speaker 1: 8:20

Um, I'm going to be recording a lot more of these solo podcast episodes. The good news for you is that they're not all going to be about me. I just wanted to give you guys a quick recap of a few of the things that we've gotten done over the last few years, since the last time that I did a solo episode, and I'm more excited. I'm very excited to bring you more episodes, so stay tuned and we'll talk soon. Make sure you check down below for all of the resources I mentioned.

Speaker 1: 9:11

Oh, I'm holding these books as a matter of fact, so from the summit. Another way that you can take in all this amazing information is from the summit. I actually created a book, and so this is the Profit Machine Summit in a book and you can order this. You can order the PDF version, get instant access to it and you can start reading and implementing the lessons, or you can order a physical copy. Obviously, they're going to print it and they're going to mail it to you, so it's not going to be instant access, but from that workbook.

Speaker 1: 9:42

If you want some help implementing the lessons, then you've got the Profit Machine Summit workbook also available just as a PDF or as a printed copy. It has lessons and it has lines so that you can really implement. You can read through what these experts are talking about. As you can see, I highlight every expert that was in the summit that you're going to be reading from in the book, and then you have all of these amazing lines within the chapters. If you're hearing this as the podcast, obviously you can't see what I'm doing, but you have amazing lines to go through and fill out like work through the questions, work through the lessons that they're teaching and, like I said, really implement these lessons into your business. And so those are available as well. Yeah, and so 13 journals on Amazon book workbook, and I've got Overcome Yourself coming out soon, all right, so now, that is all. Thank you, guys, for sticking around, super excited. I'll see you on the next episode. Bye.
