A Personal, Self-Serving, 5-Minute Podcast! This is personal and self-serving so if you don?t want to listen to all 5:39 of it, here?s the gist. You don?t owe me anything and I don?t need you to support me. I do want you to know that in order for me to get paid by the brands who advertise on the podcast, you have to actually listen to the ads. They know if you skip them or not! You can play through the ads at 1.5 speed and that works. You just have to let the ad play through for it to count. So if you feel so inclined, listen to the ads. I do appreciate that.
