- Sue: I've begun sharing these YouTube videos on podcasting platforms, and you can watch the same content video included on Spotify or audio only on Apple podcasts. I'm just experimenting to see if there's any, kind of audience there might be. On the Spotify, if the content that I post on YouTube that you're listening to or watching now will be duplicated on the Spotify. It's a duplication? Yep, it is. For right now, I'm playing with the idea of adding in the routine of sharing the distribution of this content via different means. And of course, it has to go into the mindset of adopting whatever routine that particular platform has for you to be able to do so. And spiritually, this is all about the moments when you willingly accept new things in your life, but also recognize that you can't do things the way they were. Confirmation with the Siren. think it's similar to new routines that we take on board is that we see an initial positive response and then start wanting to tweak it even further without fully allowing it its chance to expand and breathe. And in my case, it was just trying to figure out, okay, when I use this RSS feed with these different podcast distributors, realizing that some are only getting the audio, which makes sense given the origin of podcasts. Not that my videos are interactive to But I do kind of feel that the origination of them includes the image want to make certain that the podcast has video. I know that's not the way things started. And the last week or so that I've decided to become a podcaster has been me adapting to the quirks of the platforms and their procedures. While technically it's very straightforward process for somebody who does this. and that the routine, the process, all of those things can be easily corrupted with distraction because you're putting yourself into a process that is not formalized as sort of a done deal. The past few days when I have uploaded these episodes to the RSS feed, as I mentioned, it's been a quirk to figure out when I've scheduled something, even to go to the interface to see that it's in the queue to be scheduled and not seeing it. I am producing one video that I upload to YouTube and then distribute as a video podcast episode to Spotify and an audio only podcast of the exact same content to Apple. And if you as a person that likes to listen or watch podcasts has any input of what your preferred distribution platform is, let me know. But in the meantime, I'm just trying to figure out in a way. that each and every day I can follow a workflow that is efficient and proactive so that I can maintain my routine of posting my mundane life on a daily or twice daily basis. For those of you that are interested in listening to the music I create, I have two playlists on YouTube. At some point I'll probably do a more formal commercial release, but that's where it's at now. I think in the course of a day-to-day existence, when we add these routines, these new routines into our mundane daily routine, it generates a little temporary chaos. And of course, it's all self-inflicted. And that if you allow yourself to feel angsty or frustrated because you're not successfully learning the routine that you need to have this incorporated into your life. For some people, we probably want them thinking to themselves that they like, I don't know, this is too complicated, let me just abandon this whole idea together. It's a perfectly fine response, but that's not where I'm at. When you approach your life with positivity, you also know, even though it might be challenging to hold that positivity in check while you're experiencing these upsets, just stay strong and continue to shine and just know. You know, kind of have to bolster yourself up a bit to say, I don't yet have a solution to what I'm trying to do, but I know it's out there. Again, it's the concept of understanding that you are not alone. You know, I can easily keep myself in my little echo chamber working from home and not interacting outside of that realm for weeks on end. You could allow that to feed on yourself, couldn't you in an echo chamber? Huh, no. And the good thing about remaining positive is the clarity that you have. And it builds into that. confidence of understanding that your questions will have answers and you have the tools within to find them. Confirmation with the Siamon. You know, there are energies out there projected that are meant to question yourself, doubt yourself. Because when you do that, the way you're spewing off your energy into the universe freely for somebody else to grab and use for their own good, well, that's theft. That's spiritual trespassing. That won't do. But what will do is if you feel guided to do so, podcast is named Dits and using the character ampersand, Daws, Dits and Daws, as it is on my domain, SiouxSinclair.com. I'd appreciate your insight if you have any to share. I appreciate the fact that you're taking time to listen. And if you are listening to this as an audio only podcast, you may wish to head on up to Spotify or YouTube to get the full picture. Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching.
