This Podcast Things All Right, But In Real Life is Better
b'This podcast thing is all right, but I found out this week \\u201cin real life\\u201d is better.\\nAs I was collecting my thoughts before sitting down to record, I happened to glance up at the time and date on my computer screen.\\xa0 In that moment I realized that it\\u2019s 7 months to the day since the release of the first Free Your Inner Guru episode.\\n\\nLast week, I sponsored an event in Ottawa, Ontario called Money, Mindset and Marketing. Ottawa is a 4-5 hour drive or one hour flight from Toronto, where I live. Part of being a sponsor is having a booth, which meant I had to do something with an 8\\xd710 space to represent the podcast.\\n\\nMy intention for the event was that in the room of about 350 people, I would connect with people who would resonate with the podcast.\\n\\nI was looking forward to seeing friends and contacts who I have existing relationships with \\u2013 from attending the event in previous years. And I was super excited to see online friends \\u201cin real life\\u201d.\\n\\nAnd then, something unexpected happened. One by one, people I have never met ,but who have been listening to the podcast approached me at the booth. They told me they were listening to the podcast. I listened as they shared what they like and even love about it. They spoke about the impact it is having in their lives, and that they look forward to new episodes.\\xa0 One woman had a poignant observation about me personally.\\n\\nI was utterly astonished.\\n\\nPodcasting is a funny medium. Most listeners receive the episodes on a mobile device and listen from the privacy of their life, at a time and place that suits them.\\xa0 I listen to most of my podcasts while I\\u2019m doing my hair and makeup!
