EP84: Celebrating 10,000 Downloads & A Special Giveaway!

EP84: Celebrating 10,000 Downloads & A Special Giveaway!

What's going on Chit Chatter so in the intro, I mentioned that I have a special little giveaway and we're celebrating. And so I'm excited to share with you that we have actually reached over 10,000 downloads of the podcast, which is such an amazing, amazing feat. I want to celebrate this with you because it is something that I never even thought could happen. I mean, of course I thought it could happen. But it wasn't something that I hadn't been thinking about. And to be quite honest, the show has been in existence since April of 2020. So we're literally 15 and a half months into the show. And to have 10,000 downloads to me means the world. So for you as listeners, I'm so so grateful for you!

Thank you so much for supporting me, supporting this community that we've created together for listening in, and being part of the show. You know, every week that I bring a new episode and I bring new guests is really to support a community of people who need to hear what the world is seeing what the world is feeling, and being able to share topics about things that we're actually living through and feeling and things that people may want to explore. 

 

I'm so grateful and blessed to have all of you listeners who have stuck with me for the last year and a half and have been part of the show. I also want to mention that for anybody who is out there that has listened to the show, maybe you've listened to one episode, maybe you've listened to five episodes, and you've got something out of that. That, to me, is important because you may not listen to every episode because maybe it doesn't resonate with you or the content isn't for you. What I'm trying to get at with this whole entire rant that I'm going on, is that if there's something that you truly wish to want to do and accomplish, you can do it and you have to just set your heart on a goal and make sure you stick with it. This podcast was something that I had talked about for years!! Finally in the middle of the pandemic I said I'm going to launch it, I want to do it, and I did it really messy, and I did it with all my heart and the show has grown so much!

 

You know we originally started with a name of chit chat with Jose Miguel which is why I still say hey chatters, but also I went through a rebrand, I launched my coaching practices, and then came the clients and then all of the different packages. So much came from launching this podcast. And so much growth has happened in the last year and a half. The point is, if you're, if you're someone who has a goal, or wish or a dream that you're looking to achieve, that you want to actually make happen, don't let other things in your life get in the way of actually achieving your dreams and achieving your goals. 

 

Everything that you want to do in your life is absolutely 100% possible, you just have to have the right mindset, you have to have the right support systems. The most important thing is you have to believe in yourself, you have to believe in yourself to know that you are capable and 100% able to do what you want, the journey to get there. To actually get to that level that you want to be may not be easy, but everyone has the ability to pursue it. I shouldn't even say but, it's all about you not giving up on yourself. I had moments in time where the podcast to me was just like, I'm just gonna  talk and say things that maybe are going to connect with people. And maybe they won't, and never in my brightest days or my worst of days did I think that we would be at 10,000 downloads. It's such an amazing thing to celebrate! 

 

Ultimately it shows that there are people out there who are hearing what I'm sharing and hearing the episodes week in and week out, and it's resonating with them. That's what's most important. As long as I know that there are people out there who are getting value out of what we're talking about and the conversations we're sharing, I'm going to continue to grow the podcast. Thank you so much for the support. I can't thank you enough. I'm so grateful. 

 

Now, I mentioned something about celebrating. So to celebrate this amazing achievement, I'm going to give away a free month of coaching. I did this before when we hit 5000 downloads last fall. And I'm doing this again. Because I always believe that coaching is something that people are always scared to actually take the leap into going into, because they may not think that it's right for them. This is an opportunity for someone who may have listened to the podcast, or who may have not heard the podcast and may find this post on social media for you to explore and kind of dig your feet into coaching. 

 

Let me explain a little bit about what this giveaway actually entails. So basically, it's a free month of coaching. And what that means is that for four weeks, I will meet with one person, so it's one month for one person, one day each week, okay, for an hour session. I will provide the person with support via text WhatsApp Messenger, in addition to email or phone calls outside of that one hour session. This means that this will be a deep dive into understanding what the person is really looking to do if you've never explored coaching. And let's say you're someone who's looking for clarity or you're feeling stuck, or maybe you're a person who's looking to expand your career and need support with trying to figure out what your next move is. Or you're going through some changes in your life and you're not really sure what that means. Coaching is for you! 

 

The type of coaching that I do is accountability, it's career, it's helping people who are going through change in their lives and not sure where they want to go, what they want to do, or what they want to be. It's also helping people get a job and getting clarity and how to define what their next move is. So there's a lot of things in my realm of expertise and what I do in my umbrella of coaching that I can support someone. It's a great opportunity for you to get an understanding if coaching is for you and if you want to explore it further. I actually have an FAQ page set up on my website that can help someone understand what coaching is and what coaching means. 

 

Here is how the giveaway is going to work!

 

#1.  Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Music, and Spotify. So if you haven't subscribed to the show yet, let's get you subscribed. That is how you will get alerts when a new episode airs. I have always committed to bringing a new episode at least one new episode a week, I'm working towards the goal of being consistent with doing two a week. It's hard when you have a full time job, and you have coaching practice and other things. BUT it is something that I'm working towards and I really, really want to commit to that. So, number one is you need to subscribe to the podcast. Again, the podcast is on Apple Music on Spotify, and it's on other platforms, but the ones that I'm looking for people to subscribe to specifically are Apple and Spotify because I can check them very easily. So that's the first thing you need to do in order to participate in this giveaway. 

 

#2. You need to write a review! Reviews are very important to the show. It's how people who are searching for different podcasts or different categories will understand if this podcast is for them. If you've listened to an episode that was really valuable to you, and it gave you some purpose, or you shared it with the world, writing a review is going to help the show grow, but also for other listeners to understand what the show is all about. So number two is write a review. It means the world to me when people write reviews, and if you love the show, why not do it. So that's number two. You can write your review in Apple Podcasts( Apple Music). For some reason Apple is the reigning supreme where podcasts categories and reviews are ranked (don't ask me why..lol) If you don't have an Apple account or Apple Music as a friend or family member to do this for you. I am not an Apple user, (Android Fan for Life!) but I have an Apple Music account.  

 

#3. Take a screenshot of your review, and share it on Instagram stories and Facebook. YOU MUST tag me in order for me to know that you actually did this step, I can always go back to look at the reviews of the show on Apple Music and I can go back to look to see if people said anything on my channel on Spotify. However, in order for me to know that you did step 3, which is taking the screenshot of the review, and sharing it on social media on your stories, that is how I'm going to know that you've completed steps one through three. Okay, so you need to tag me when you go to share it on your stories, you need to share it on your Instagram stories, and Facebook stories. So take a screenshot of that review! 

 

#4. Last one...Tag someone who you think should listen to the podcast. One of the things that's really important about sharing a community and growing community is being able to share the show with people who you think will need to be inspired. Tag a friend, tag a family member, or tag a colleague, it doesn't matter who you tag, just tag someone, okay? It's important because that will ultimately allow more listeners to come to the show, and help engage a larger audience of guests and be able to bring better content. 

 

Last day to enter the giveaway is Wednesday, September 15. The winner will be announced on Thursday, September 16 via social media (instagram & facebook). I'll also announce the winner on the podcast  episode that airs on Friday, September 17.

 

 Wait there is more.... BONUS!!!

I always love referrals! Referrals are important and it's how I have actually grown my coaching practice. For anyone, you refer to one of the coaching packages that we have available. If someone signs up and pays for a package, you will get one free hour of coaching in addition to the 4 sessions you could win! So that means it's a bonus for you to be able to share with the world and share with your friends, family colleagues, that you're entering into this giveaway, and let people know, hey, if you buy a coaching package you can get a free hour of coaching, in addition to the giveaway. So that means that if you win the giveaway, you will get five, maybe six depending on how many people sign up for coaching sessions. That's always something also to look forward to.

 

At any rate, I'm going to stop ranting now because this episode was meant to be really short to just celebrate! Thank you so much. I have so much love for all of you as my community as my listeners. I appreciate you. And I really appreciate the continuous support that you've given me and the podcast and to the show throughout the last year and a half. Thank you so much, and I can't wait for the next episode. All my love. XO!
