One Week Break - Aug 26, 2019

Podcast Pontifications

As much as I don't want to disappoint you, I really need back the three hours each day that this show takes. All is good on my end, but I need to put my head down and focus on my business.

Here's a taste of what's going on:

• I'm onboarding two new clients at the same time, and that's a lot of work and focus from me. And I can't let those slip, as it's paying clients that afford me the ability to bring you Podcast Pontifications four times a week.
• I'm giving a presentation about podcasting at Disrupt HR Phoenix this week, and I need to spend many, many hours to prepare for it. If you've ever seen me speak, you know I put a lot of effort into making sure the timing is perfect and that I have every aspect of my stage-game down pat.
• In a couple of weeks, I'm headed to Kazahkstan to talk about podcasting at PATA Travel Mart 2019. I haven't even started that preso, because I'm incapable of prepping for two different talks. Thanks, brain.
• Prior to that, I have an original article due for the print-version of Podcast Business Journal, which I also haven't started. (Side note for Ed: How do people subscribe to the print version?)

So yeah... I'm busy. So is everyone. I don't think I'm special. But I am exercising my own control of my own show, and being a good doobie by letting you know in advance of my little break.

Talk amongst yourselves, and consider buying me a coffee if you like. Also, if you have topic ideas or things you want to talk, Flick.group/podcastpontifications is a nifty way to do that.

And if you want to add to my workload, great! Email me at [e-mail] or go to PodcastLaunch.pro to see a list of the services we offer our clients all around the globe.

The show will be back right after Labor Day!

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet. 5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more. We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
