Today’s episode is entitled schools out for summer due to the relief that i will be feeling in just a few weeks time. Yes, shortly I will be closing up shop and quite literally touring the world with my family. Screaming “Schools out for summer” at every opportunity. But how do you do this when you need to provide content to the world three times a week? How can you really scream schools out for summer if you have work that is required Well in todays show i reveal how i almost made the wrong decision and went with the easy route to success. I almst decided that I would stop podcasting like so many other people do across the world. They podfade and make things easier for themselves, instead of thinking of what got them there in the first place. Enjoy “Schools out for summer” and let me know if I have made the right decision.

And basically what what you what you will hear what you will hear is a show that I recorded that I was going to put out live. And then I slept on it. And I woke up the next morning and I thought to myself, no, that’s not right. I shouldn’t put that out to the world. And then the next day, I thought about it. And I thought no, I will put it out to the world. But I will do a little sort of intro that I’m doing now to sort of lead up to why you’re getting this episode. And then there’s a bit at the end which I will explain why. So once the music fades on the episode, you’ll hear me again, you’ll hear my sexy tones again. And I will tell you exactly why it has caused me distress. This has caused me distress and you will hear now. So this is the episode enjoy it. And I see you again after the music finishes at the end.

This is your blueprint for greatness. So here’s your host live from the back of his garden in the UK, David Ralph. David Ralph [1:47] Yes, good morning, good morning, or afternoon or evening or whatever time it is in your world. Thank you for being here with the Join Up Dots show Yes, the Join Up Dots Meister is coming to you in UA but across the globe. And that’s what I have been doing for nearly six years. Now. I’m going to reference something and I’ve been thinking about this long and hard. And I’m actually spoken about it a few times in podcast episodes going forward. But since since I’ve been doing Join Up Dots, we’ve released over 1500 shows. And we have provided content, inspiration, motivation, interviews, and solo shows. And we have been trying to mix it up to give you what you want. And it’s always about you listeners always about your listeners. And there’s not one listener out there. But I do not think about whether you drop me a line or I never hear from you. It’s all about you right from the very beginning, now overly at this summer period. And I’ve been having a lot of problems through Join Up Dots. And one of the problems I have is the guests, they baulking to be recorded, and when they don’t turn up, I’ve had a serious and if you’re listening out there and you was a guest but did this men’s Mac potty time because some of the emails that I’ve had from people where they’ve cancelled a booking, and then another time we reschedule and then I cancel that. And they say oh, sorry, I got busy. Sorry, I got this. Pretty much. that annoys me, that annoys me. Because what they’re saying is their time is busier tha
