00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:37.840
I'm your host, Julie Marty Pearson, and this is the podcast where we amplify women's voices in podcasting.

I hope you enjoy this episode of Podcast Your Story.
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.359
I am very happy to welcome to the podcast my guest, Tracy Root.
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.680
Tracy, thank you so much for being here.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.879
It's my pleasure.
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.560
Thanks for having me.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.319
And I am super excited to publish this episode with Tracy.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.239
I have been coaching, helping Tracy to get her podcast started and launched.
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:55.120
So I wanted to bring her here so all of you could hear her story of what is her podcast about?
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.519
Why did she decide to start it now?
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.920
And how has this process been for her?
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.640
So let's start first, Tracy.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.040
Have you tell the listeners a little bit about you and your business?
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.879
I've been a coach for going on 12 years.
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.319
And I started off in like a network marketing health coaching thing.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.039
Those are pretty common out there in the world now.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.360
But at the time I didn't know anything about it, and I didn't know anything about coaching.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:36.000
So that was a great way for me to understand to A, get what I needed out of this coaching agreement, which was I needed some real health support.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:56.960
And it taught me what coaching was and how I really had been doing it all along, helping people manage change as the oldest daughter of a divorced family in school, as a leader, in the marching band, like all of these things I can go back now and relate.
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.199
I was always helping people manage and navigate change.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.159
So coaching really was the perfect fit for me.
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.319
The health part of health coaching was not really something I was super excited about.
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:09.840
I just needed it.
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:26.879
But what it gave me was an opportunity to understand the mindset stuff and the motivation and structure underneath any kind of coaching, uh, learning how to go after what you want.
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:33.599
And so I took those learnings and I started to apply them to more life coaching work.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:53.199
And also as my business became stable in that way outside of health coaching, and I started to grow it, helping people with their businesses, specifically early stage entrepreneurs who were doing things that I had also done, like leaving corporate to work for themselves.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:04:00.240
And in about 2018, I decided I wanted to start doing in-person group activities.
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.120
I really had, I wanted to do a vision board workshop.
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.159
I wanted to bring groups of people together because I, to be honest, I didn't have a lot of friends.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.159
And I wanted to bring people together because I knew that it would be fun.
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:24.800
And I knew that connecting people in a supportive way was a way to help them be more likely to achieve those goals that they had in mind.
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.959
So I started doing that, and it was really a challenge here.
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.199
I live in Santa Cruz, California.
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.160
It was really a challenge to find a place to have these events that I had in mind.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:42.160
My corporate background that I had left was in interior design and project management.
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:55.839
So I said to myself, I can't find a place that is suitable, that I can afford, that, you know, has what I need, I'll make my own because I had spent 17 years in corporate creating spaces for other companies.
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.000
I'd create one for myself.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:16.800
So the learnings of going through all of that was really interesting and super fulfilling and finally came to fruition in October of 2019, which of course was right before lockdown happened and we weren't doing anything in person anymore.
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.519
So this dream of having this in-person event space had to be shelved.
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:33.519
And in a sense, it wasn't that the dream was shelved, is that it immediately started to transform from I want to have things in a room to what's the whole point?
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.959
The point is to connect people, to build community.
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:47.040
And honestly, you know, my I remember very clearly that my kids' last day at school was Friday, the 13th of March, 2020.
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:54.160
And on that Monday, we were all at home and going, okay, what do we do?
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:03.600
And I said to the people that I was connected to through Facebook and et cetera, I said, I don't know what we're doing, but let's just get on Zoom and we'll start figuring it out.
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:12.480
And that was the first real co-working session on Zoom of the Gather community that we've been doing every week since.
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.319
Four and a half years later.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.279
You can connect not only to people who live near you, but to people all over the globe.
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.720
And that's what we've done.
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.800
We've built an entire community of women leaders and entrepreneurs called the Gather community.
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:34.000
And we've been doing co-working, networking, multi-speaker events, workshops.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:47.199
And I love hosting these events because my real superpower is connecting people and like hearing what they need and knowing someone else, and let's push them together.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:07:06.480
And so, as a speaker, as an event facilitator, my constant thriving on camera and speaking with people was the idea of podcasting was always in the back of my mind, but I knew that I was already building something that needed my attention.
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.639
So once the gather community started to hit a rhythm, I started working a little more on my coaching business again.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:21.279
And that really took shape last year in the form of my first retreat and a year-long mastermind program and retreat program that we're running now.
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.800
So that's happening now too.
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:28.399
And I said, okay, that's figured out and this is figured out, and let's start the podcast.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.879
Because my goal is to reach more people so that I can connect more people.
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:47.680
And I figured it was the natural evolution of how to reach people, especially when my time is like I can only go to so many networking meetings and still run the business.
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.560
I mean, that's I would love that if I could just do that all the time and actually be physically or virtually in the same room with people.
00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:09.040
But I figured that the podcast was a way for me to talk about what we do, bring more people potentially to the gather community, bring more people potentially to my programs and retreats, and then be able to put those people all together even more.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.240
So and now it's time to try to reach a wider audience to be able to share it with more people.
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.240
I love that.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:23.680
And I think like hearing you talk and all of the different things, it made me think of it's all about the timing.
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.360
Sometimes we want things when we want them and it's not the right time.
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.159
Or sometimes things are changing and evolving and realize, oh, this is the right time for this.
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.480
No wonder this is all happening the way it's happening.
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:44.639
And so it really sounds like your evolution as a business owner, an entrepreneur, a coach, and now podcaster has all just been about when it was right for it to happen.
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:45.200
Yeah.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.919
I mean, the pandemic really taught us a lot about that, that you don't know what the future holds.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.639
How could you possibly know how something's going to turn out?
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.559
Because literally the biggest mystery, oh, a global pandemic.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.200
Like it wasn't on anyone's bingo card, as we say.
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:16.639
So, you know, if you're in tune with the mission of what you're trying to create and who you're trying to serve and what they're gonna get out of it, and how you can, as a coach, the idea of one-on-one coaching is great.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:27.279
Like it's super immersive and you get everything that you if you find the right mentor, and you can really get a lot unpacked and done and handled.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:36.639
But if you are trying to do everything at once and are spread too thin, then nothing really gets the attention that it needs.
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.600
And so as a coach, I can help people one-on-one.
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:53.200
But I love working with groups because not only do they learn from me, they learn from each other to really be the meaty conversation, transformational situation that it has the potential of being.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:02.399
Then if I were, if my attention was split in too many pieces, then no one's getting the attention they deserve.
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:17.440
And so by having the podcast now, where the gather community is relatively self-like, my role in the gather community now, or at least my goal role, my goal job is that it runs itself with the team and the support that we have behind it.
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:28.000
And my job is to touch people, connect our members to the host events, to be that energetic face of the activity.
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.759
And then from a coaching standpoint, it's the same thing.
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:43.039
I want to have enough of an impact to reach multiple people, which is why I prefer doing group programs and retreats, because it's immersive, yet it's not one person at a time.
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.720
As all of us coaches, we just want to have the greatest impact that we can have.
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.720
And doing with groups and reaching a larger audience is the way to do that.
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.399
And the podcast is, like you said, just the natural evolution.
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.879
As I can spend time on it, which it's taken a little time to get my feet under me for sure.
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.039
I always feel a little imbalanced.
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.679
What have I got done and what do I still need to do?
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:16.960
But I don't feel like I'm leaving anything else in my company unsupported by focusing on learning all of this and by having these interviews.
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.799
And I just love interviewing people.
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:30.399
I mean, I love telling my stories, and I got a bazillion of them, but I love interviewing people and really understanding how they're serving the world so that I can help them reach more people.
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:41.120
Well, and I think what you said is important because there are a lot of obstacles and hurdles that people are afraid of or get stopped by when wanting to start a podcast.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.480
And one of them is time.
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.559
How much time is this gonna take me?
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.919
How much time do I have to devote to it on a regular basis?
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:49.919
Am I gonna enjoy it?
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.960
Because, like, like you, I love interviewing.
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.000
This has always been facilitate interviewing.
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.600
It's just what I do.
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.000
But for some people, that's really hard.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.519
I have some friends who have been like doing one with guests.
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.679
Oh my gosh, I don't know what to say or ask.
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.799
So a lot of that comes into when we start to think about starting a podcast is what are the hurdles?
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.200
What are the things that are gonna be like, oh, I don't want to do that.
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.840
Yeah, I know a lot of people feel that way about editing.
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:23.039
And Tracy and I were just talking about some of the issues she was having with the script and no software is perfect.
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:23.840
Yeah.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:41.840
But yeah, and and I always think launching takes longer than people expect it to, just because there is a lot of behind the scenes work that you have to do, a lot of little boxes to check off, but then that's done and you don't have to do it again, and it can be a much easier, consistent process for you.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:56.960
So going back to when you and I first met and started the coaching process of starting your podcast, what were some of the hurdles or difficulties you faced in terms of what is this gonna be about?
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.240
What am I gonna call it?
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:04.960
What do I want the image to be like audio-wise, but also visually with my covers?
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.120
What in that part of the process did you enjoy the most?
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:10.799
Was more most difficult?
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.320
What did that feel like?
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:23.360
Yeah, I actually had the idea for it, didn't end up being the actual title, but the idea for the podcast top like topic collection at the gym one day.
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:28.240
I was listening to the Mel Robbins podcast, who I absolutely adore.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:35.919
And she said something she says all the time, which is something like you're one decision away from your next life or something to that effect.
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:45.360
I've been teaching about being bold in your life and in your business and in your sales and being bold and taking bold action is like my thing for the last couple of years.
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:54.159
And so all of a sudden, she said something bold stuck in my head, and I had this like light bulb moment for real.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:06.000
I was literally sitting there doing some abs, and I got up and I walked over to the desk at the gym, and I was like, Do you have a piece of scratch paper and a pen I could borrow?
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.279
Because I just was thinking about something and I really need to write it down.
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.080
This is it.
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:21.039
This is that paper where I decided, I realized that the whole point was gonna be inviting people to talk about the bold decisions that change the trajectory of their life.
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:26.000
And I came up with 12 right there in one minute for myself.
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.320
And of course, I know that entrepreneurs, this is what happens to us.
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.799
We come up with ideas, we make decisions.
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:39.919
These decisions are bold decisions because entrepreneur ain't for sissies and act on them.
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:54.960
Everyone has something, if not 20 somethings that they could point at that really made a difference for them, whether it was as a child or in high school or in creating their business or even in reinventing themselves.
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.799
So it was really that's the idea.
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:57.840
I don't know what I want to call it.
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.840
I went through 20 names, but that was the main idea.
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:07.279
And that was, I think, what started me really rolling this year.
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.759
I knew I wanted to get started towards the end of 2024.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.120
And with the idea in mind, then I was finally ready.
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:22.879
Obviously, I knew of you through other people who are also relaunching or getting support with their podcasts.
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.799
And we had met, and you're awesome.
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:33.200
So I was like, I'm gonna work with Julie because she clearly knows what she's doing and she's very nice and is gonna be patient with me, and I'm gonna figure this out.
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:43.039
But to be able to what from our first meeting, you're like, I have this checklist for you, and this is and we'll do this and we'll meet this many times over this period of time and everything.
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:51.759
And it just was so like it all made sense, which was so nice because you don't know what you don't know until you get started.
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:57.039
And what was great was once I got started, I had a list, so it made it easy.
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:04.480
And then I would say that the obstacle at that point was managing myself, just my own time.
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:11.759
I think we rescheduled the first call twice, if I remember right, because I just wasn't, I hadn't spent the time on it yet.
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.240
I wasn't ready, I was in the middle of other things.
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:21.840
And once we had that first meeting, I think we were like, okay, let's based on that, this time frame seems to make sense.
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:36.399
And of course, then the second call, I think we postponed once and we changed that whole time frame, but I understood kind of the implications of my own actions and of the decisions that we'd made and how we changed them, the implications of that, and it was all fine.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:45.759
So I wasn't worried about it, and it allowed me a little flexibility to know that it was all gonna still be great.
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.240
Right.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:52.799
It's okay that we delayed a week or two weeks or whatever it was, because it's gonna be perfect whenever it is.
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.279
And to have someone else with you, there's resources and there's YouTube videos.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.600
But when you have someone who's been there and you have there's nothing like having your own coach.
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:13.039
I mean, as a coach, clearly, I know I'm not blowing anyone's mind that coaches say coaches need coaches, but it's so true.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:18.240
Because if I had just been following some other thing, I don't think that I would be ready to launch.
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:25.599
I think that those momentary check-ins with you, those the understanding that wow, I did actually get through this list.
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.920
And then I think we were looking at it recently.
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.359
I'm like, oh I did that.
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:34.400
I didn't like I hadn't gone back and marked it off, but it was a natural progression to the end of the list.
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:48.559
So that was very empowering to know that through our conversations and the natural progression of just understanding what it takes to put a show out, which in the gather community we do summits that are on YouTube and all that.
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.599
So that wasn't new, it's just new software and a new format.
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.319
And so it was a good natural progression.
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:16.240
Yeah, I think that those obstacles of just getting myself like in process going, pressing it off and getting out of your own way sometimes, which is story as old as time for everyone who's trying to create your books, whatever it is, I can be the worst procrastinator and I do it to myself.
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:23.119
But I also think what you were doing procrastination all about not really wanting to do it.
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.759
So you have to figure out what it is that's stopping you.
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.640
And right, just oh no, that's not true.
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.400
I do want to do this, so let's go.
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:33.680
And then you get going.
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.519
And then also I think what you said about coaching is really important.
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:43.599
And as both of us are coaches, we're not saying this just because we want you to have us be your coach.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.240
It's true that you need a coach.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.440
There are things I would never say I know how to do everything.
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:59.920
No, I'm constantly learning from the coaches I work with, the coaches I help launch, the coaches I meet, networking, as well as my own coaches.
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.559
And it's really about that connection and oh, that's how you do it.
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:05.599
That makes it easier.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.079
Why reinvent the wheel when it's already working?
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:23.839
But also, I think what I found since my coaching has now focused on podcasting, is it's a lot of it is about accountability, is having that person that is like the little nudge that says, Hey, have you done this?
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.519
You said you do it by today.
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.759
And it's just, I think that I've had that experience myself with a coach.
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:37.279
It was like, okay, you're gonna keep moving me forward again, because we can get in our own way and we need that push.
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.440
But I think it's also nice to know you have someone to go to ask the little questions.
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.680
Sometimes I find this isn't working, but who am I gonna ask how it works?
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.599
Like you said, YouTube videos, whatever, but it only gets you so far.
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:57.119
And you want that hands-on experience and that connection with someone that you know is gonna get you to your end result.
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:08.319
Yeah, one of the things when I'm teaching my whole like bold framework is really about the power and the need to not only ask for help, but to accept it.
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:22.160
So to be able to have someone to ask the question of, we keep ourselves from even asking the questions when we know we're too embarrassed to even admit it's all about embarrassment and fear and judgment and shame and all those things.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:30.000
When you live the life of asking for help and taking that help, then life's a lot easier.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:39.519
That's why coaches can work with coaches and why we're coachable is we have it like that real understanding of that there's real value there.
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:44.799
It's not just because we don't know what to do, it's that I don't have to figure this out by myself.
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:54.160
And what's funny because I think one of the reasons I love podcasting so much is the community I've found within it.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.680
Having a community of people to ask these questions, say, do you use this?
00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:58.799
Why is this not working?
00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.920
What am I doing wrong?
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:05.920
You have someone to go to, and the coaching and the community are key for anything.
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.039
Like nobody can achieve things in isolation.
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.640
You need support, you need help.
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.799
And ultimately, we're starting podcasts because we want to help others, right?
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:20.160
We want to take our experience and the people we interview and help give people advice.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.839
It's okay, now I'm not alone.
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.640
I get it now.
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:33.200
And that that's why I like coming to your podcast party because I'm just understanding the community of podcasting because I haven't been one yet.
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:33.759
Right.
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.160
Really not launched as of today.
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:50.319
So, like I technically am not one yet, but I have had a chance to be in the room with a number of podcasters and just soaking up that information and being in that community gives me more confidence.
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:52.720
Everyone's a beginner in the beginning.
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:59.680
And it's okay to be a beginner because we don't expect people to be perfect ever, especially when they've never done it.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.559
For.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.200
Right.
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:10.000
It's a great way to for me to because I've been in a lot of communities and I've been with lots of women entrepreneurs, especially people in business.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:16.079
But I've never really, there's only a handful of people who do things the way I do them, specifically the gather community.
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:24.000
And so to be in a room of a bunch of people who are podcasting, that is something that I haven't done yet.
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:30.799
I get so much out of just soaking up the vibes and little comments and stuff.
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:31.920
So yeah, super true.
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:32.160
Right.
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:32.960
Community is everywhere.
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:43.839
And I, and that's something I, as a person and a coach, I say, I'm sharing stories, but it really is about the community you're creating or the community you're finding, or whatever that may be.
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:58.160
And since I started my business after COVID, I really realize how important that community is because I've been connected to people all over the world that I would have never met if I hadn't stepped into the roles as a coach, as a podcaster.
00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:58.880
I have.
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:09.200
But I would also say it that you podcasting is great, but there's still a connection of being in person with people that you cannot replace.
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:14.240
So I want people to realize podcasting is great, but it still has its limitations.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.599
It gives us a space to it's a piece of the puzzle.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:19.440
Yes, for sure.
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:19.920
Yeah.
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.160
I mean, if you think of regular broadcasting, right?
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:23.920
And television shows and all of that.
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.400
The shows that we want, we want to know those people are real people.
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:35.200
And a lot of the ways that they do that is by live performances, live audiences, all of that stuff.
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:42.319
And so if we're podcasting, we don't have a live audience or the potential for one, unless you're a fabulous queen of podcasts like you.
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:43.759
Streaming it or something.
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:51.599
So for me, it's a piece of building people up for the gather community where it's a lot more live and multiple people, crowds of people.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:58.240
For me, from a coaching standpoint, we might do our group stuff online, but those retreats that we're putting together.
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:05.839
And then also we're meeting, people are looking for what groups are you a part of, what's in the area near you.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.440
And it gives us a chance to be like, oh, hey, you're in Texas.
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.640
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:16.399
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:22.239
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.480
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.879
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:37.840
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:51.359
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.840
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:18.480
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.920
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.359
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.680
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.879
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.560
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.319
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:48.239
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:55.120
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.519
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.920
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.640
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.040
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.879
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.319
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.039
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.360
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:36.000
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:56.960
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.199
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.159
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.319
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:09.840
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:26.879
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:33.599
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:53.199
00:03:53.520 --> 00:04:00.240
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.120
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.159
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.159
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:24.800
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.959
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.199
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.160
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:42.160
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:55.839
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.000
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:16.800
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.519
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:33.519
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.959
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:47.040
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:54.160
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:03.600
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:12.480
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.319
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.279
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.720
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.800
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:34.000
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:47.199
00:06:47.519 --> 00:07:06.480
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.639
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:21.279
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.800
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:28.399
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.879
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:47.680
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.560
00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:09.040
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.240
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.240
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:23.680
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.360
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.159
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.480
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:44.639
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:45.200
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.919
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.639
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.559
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.200
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:16.639
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:27.279
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:36.639
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.600
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:53.200
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:02.399
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:17.440
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:28.000
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.759
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:43.039
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.720
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.720
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.399
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.879
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.039
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.679
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:16.960
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.799
