Hello. Welcome to Daily for Friday, August 5. This episode number a 178. It's currently 22 degrees outside. It feels like 22 degrees, so the weather's being honest.
Speaker 1:But honestly, you're not here for that. This is not a weather podcast. This episode is brought to you by Feed Press. Visit feed.press/dailies today to sign up and try FeedPress for fourteen days. No contracts or commitments, you know all that.

If any of the Canadian listeners out there, stands for content delivery noofballs. Just as you might have guessed and Patreon supporters like you, patreon.com/ichris is where you can check out how you support my podcasting efforts a little more directly with a dollar or 2 per month. One cool bit of Patreon news that's coming potentially soon ish.
Speaker 1:They they've teased an announcement anyways that they're gonna have private RSS feeds for podcasters who wanna use Patreon just for podcasts. So you'd be able to I guess the idea will be for Patreon supporters, could do basically a paid podcast, guess, or paid content, and they would be able to subscribe to it in their podcast player. And as long as, I guess, it doesn't get shared out to iTunes or something, it would be a private thing. So only available for people who pay for Patreon support. So it could be kind of a cool way to do like a easier way to do a daily ish version that's only for Patreon support because I find anyways for me if people who will put out some content on Patreon, it's kind of like another place I have to go listen whereas all my podcasts are already in my podcast player.
Speaker 1:It'd be nice if I could just have it all there. So, anyways, something to look towards, I guess. I've decided I'm not gonna use the soundboard is admittedly a bit of a crutch. Right? It's something that's, you know, used to fill in gaps, so gonna try to use it as little as possible.
Speaker 2:Chris is gonna be so excited that we're talking about wieners right now.
Speaker 1:But anyways, up at I haven't recorded in a couple weeks almost now, and the reason being last week, our family was away at a family camp about four hours north of here, beautiful lake. It's something that we did for the first time last year and we decided after that that we need to make it a priority for our family to be able to do. It's something that actually makes our summer really tight financially, but it's something we need to sacrifice other stuff like going out for Starbucks or going, having food. No. Not quite that bad.
Speaker 1:But it's something we need to do, make a priority because it's it's a thing that sort of feeds into our whole family and, and this is just a great time to get away from the city, get away from my business, get away from the Internet basically, with two bars of three g Internet basically is the best you can do up there for a week and get out on the water and swim and do all sorts of camping stuff. Camping in a cabin with no running water but running water in a lodge kind of thing. So it's kind of like a bit of a break and able to just kind of relax and actually play with my kids which is awesome. But I end up actually not really seeing them a lot because they're out just running around like crazy with friends and stuff up there paddle boarding and canoeing and whatever else they get up to and all that kind of stuff. So good time, refreshed back, but then as a result of being away obviously it's kind of like now I have to get caught up on all this stuff that I was putting off in preparation for the trip and does while we're gone.
Speaker 1:So it's been a busy week of trying to keep up with emails and respond to clients and keep up with projects on the go, all that kind stuff. And it's already August now, early August and all the things summer was supposed to be for are running out of time. I'm terrible at writing down lists of things I plan to do or want to do, but I I'm great at keeping like a mental list of the things I wanna do, the key things I really wanna do. The things that I if I don't do, I'll have a mental nervous breakdown into a fit of depression and bitterness. So my brain is kind of fun like that.
Speaker 1:So it's not that I necessarily, know, have a nice list of in my brain of just like from medium to easy to hard of things that need to get done. It's like here's the two or three things that if they don't get done, you're gonna feel depressed about summer boat. So it doesn't really help me actually get stuff done in a great way. So I do need to do, you know, keep list, do a better job of realistic expectations, and so that's why I'm telling you, the Daily ish listener, to keep myself accountable. So alright.
Speaker 1:Let's I'm gonna buckle down, get some stuff done. What I'd like to do though is is set a bit more of a once again set a bit of a regular schedule for Daily ish, but I want your help in deciding when it would be best to be regular on Daily ish. Which days of the week are the best days to publish that you would want to and have the ability to time, etcetera to listen. I know it's not a long podcast, so it's not that difficult, but there'll be a link in the show notes to the poll. Goodstuff.fm/dailyish/170eight, where is where you can find the show notes.
Speaker 1:So if you visit that in your web browser of choice on your phone, it should work as well. Goodstuff.fm/dailyish/170eight. There'll be a link to the poll. The poll is just one question. Which day or days of the week should I publish daily, Sean?
Speaker 1:Please think as selfishly as you want and then, just let me know because, I could do it like Monday, Wednesday, Friday is kind of the easy one, but maybe Fridays like as I'm publishing this right now are kind of the worst days to do it because you don't actually listen to anything and then by time you actually listen to it Sunday, Monday is kind of pointless because it's all out of date because you know how current and, you know, breaking news kind of stuff this episode of this podcast is. So, yeah, let me know. I'll take it into account. It's not like I'm gonna necessarily if everybody says every day of the week plus weekends, I'm not necessarily gonna do that, but I'm just kinda curious what the 100 and some listeners of Daily(ish) are like and what they would when and why they would like to I guess not why, just when they'd like to hear Daily(ish). So Alright.
Speaker 1:That's enough for this. Hope you enjoy the Olympics if you're watching. Enjoy your summer. If you're not, enjoy catching some Pokemon if you're not doing either of those. Just try to avoid hearing and reading about the US elections this weekend.
Speaker 1:Okay? Just mute the Trump and that'll be it. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Visit patreon.com/ichris.
Speaker 1:Bye. Oh, and before I forget, there's also a thing I'm doing a relaunching of a a weekly newsletter that just kinda collects stuff I've been reading, listening to, watching, etcetera throughout the week and sends it out every Friday afternoon. So it's probably too late to sign up by the time you hear this podcast, but you can be signed up for next week's edition of the newsletter. That'll also be in the show notes, linked to sign up. So goodstuff.fm/dailyish/178 is where you can find that.
Speaker 1:Now for real. Goodbye. Have a good weekend, and we'll talk to you later.
Speaker 2:Chris is gonna be so excited that we're talking about wieners right now.
