Hi everyone, welcome back to Ready to Connect Podcast. I'm Lisa. I'm Heather.
SPEAKER_00
And I'm Ryan.
SPEAKER_01
I thought I was gonna be all by myself. Anyway. And we just wanted to kind of share some of our thoughts and our standouts of the night. It was an amazing, wonderful night. The energy was just really uh welcoming and um exciting to be there. I don't know what you guys thought, but um I loved everyone that turned out for us.
SPEAKER_02
It was quite tantalizing and riveting at the same time, like just to have all this wonderful energy all together, um, something that we all foster together as you know, ready to connect podcasts, you know, bringing bringing people together, bringing us to people and people coming to us. It's uh very rewarding and we're very grateful.
SPEAKER_00
I agree. I thought it was phenomenal and just exciting just just to be in that environment with with so many people who you know they were intrigued to to hear about uh the topic, but also they were able to share their own stories. And so it was nice to be able to put the spotlight on others who when if they felt comfortable to share their own stories and and uh I felt like it was just insightful just being able to hear from other people.
SPEAKER_01
You know, we sit here uh in front of these microphones talking, and you know, we can see each other, the three of us, right? And maybe uh Chris, if he's you know, if we're in studio, we can see him, but um we don't see the listeners, right? We don't have an opportunity to see their body language, to see what they're interested in, to see what they get excited about, to see what they, you know, when we talk about something, how that might really inspire them to share. And that I think was just amazing that you know, we sit here and trust that someone is actually, yes, clicking on our podcast to hear it, to listen to us. Um, but we don't know because we can't see you when we're doing it like this, right? Until we look at analytics, which are just numbers on a paper. So it was great to see faces and to see who would walk through that door and just want to sit down and you know, spend the evening with us. Uh that I think being able to put a face to some of the ears that we're in, right?
SPEAKER_00
Right.
SPEAKER_01
Yeah. One of the standout things that I I I had a chuckle about was we gave my husband Mike the microphone to go around to the different people who wanted to share, ask a question. So we always said, wait for Mike with the mic, and I just the name he chuckled, especially when they thought he was just gonna stand there and hold it for them the whole time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02
I love that people came with questions.
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02
You know, they came with their questions and really dug into the topic of talking about elementals and the different, you know, mythology and spirituality of everything that we're bringing here to the podcast. And uh how exciting for the next one, right?
SPEAKER_01
Speaking of the next one, we do have another live taping scheduled, and it is scheduled for a Monday evening yet again from 6 to 8, September 14th. And we will be celebrating our podcast turning one. It'll be our first anniversary. How cool is that?
SPEAKER_00
I know it's exciting. We're definitely gonna have to celebrate.
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I think we're gonna have to uh do a little something extra, right? Maybe we'll have maybe some uh dinosaur costumes and unicorn costumes. And I know my neighbor has some sharks, blow-up sharks. We could all come running in and balloons. We could have some fun with this.
SPEAKER_01
You know what? I also uh yeah, we should have some fun with it because Lord knows that our live taping people were very um accepting and indulgent of my Star Wars fandom and paraphernalia that I brought to the May 4th taping. And come to find out there are some other Star Wars nerds among our listeners. So that was really fun. But yeah, we'll have to really do it up like a great big celebration.
SPEAKER_02
Um it's like your first birthday party for a child, right? Exactly. Have some fun with this.
SPEAKER_01
Can you imagine when that comes around September 14th? We we dropped our first podcast, and I was across the world in Africa at the time when the first one went live, right? That's just crazy.
SPEAKER_02
It's exciting. It's exciting that all of you listening to us want to listen to us, and we're very grateful that you love what we're saying. And of course, we continue to ask everyone listening to engage with us so that we have future content to think about and bring to you as well.
SPEAKER_01
Yeah. Speaking of future content, we're moving from our Haunted America series, which we so adored and loved that time, going across the country to find haunted places. But we're moving now to interviews with some very dynamic people that we've met. Um, we met them at fairs or we've just run across them in our lives. Um, and we're just excited to bring some of these people and their stories and what they have to offer to you, our listeners. So, starting next um with our very next um podcast, we'll be having interviews from interviews about them, maybe the stories that they have to share. And I think we're gonna call it interviews and meetings with dynamic people. How's that sound? Does that sound like a good title? Because they are dynamic. Yeah, they are, they are, they are very excited for that. So, anyway, just want to thank everybody for showing up for our live event and definitely look for our next live event on September 14th. You can find it on the Artist Having Media website or also on the Serenity Grove wellness website, um, in the events calendar for our website. So um, yeah. Until then, everyone be well. Oh, did you hear that? I hope that gets on the podcast. That was like uh a rounding go mom from Mr. Sophie over there at her. He's cheering us on, he's encouraging everybody to listen in the cat world. I don't know where my two are. I think they just zonked out somewhere and they gave up trying to get me to get them to go outside.
SPEAKER_02
We just need Mr. Wants it Watson to do a quick howl in the background and that'll be complete.
SPEAKER_00
If we had um, you know, any noise going on outside, he'd be barking, but it's quiet today.
SPEAKER_01
Quiet today. Well, anyway, until next time, uh, we look forward to connecting with you.
