So, Mogul, I'm I'm just spewing out words here at this point, so I'm gonna stop. I want you to give us a quick introduction before we jump into this world of Facebook ads and Chime House Media.

Yeah. So, I mean, that was a fantastic intro. So just a little bit of a background on what I do. So we started our business back in 2020, kind of on the heels of what I had done professionally in my previous life, in sales and business development, marketing, that sort of thing, and really have been primarily working in the online space since 2020 because, of course, with COVID, everybody went online. Everyone was creating courses, and everyone needed to build their email list and build their audiences and enter in Facebook ads. So the past 4 years I've been working solely in that space with some local clients now that we're kind of coming out of COVID. But last year, I had a friend approach me in the podcasting space to try some specific strategies as it relates to growing a podcast and how important it is for podcasters to grow their audience and engage with their audience and the fact that people are having the hardest time as ever to get seen online organically right now. And so we came up with some strategies, and I actually ended up fully pivoting my business to serve business owners with podcasts.

And so over the past year, we have really been, like, refining our services and figuring out different ways in which we can help people, whether it's a course, which we'll talk about today, or the to one services and that sort of thing. But it's been great, and it really just breathe, like, new life back into my business because podcasters are just rad. Like, we just hide, And it's just been it's just been fantastic. So I'm just really excited to be here to chat with you just about all the cool things we've got going on. So thank you so much for giving me a space to do that.

It is my absolute pleasure, Megan. When you, reached out to me telling me that you had this amazing course, this amazing product for, podcasters to use Facebook ads to boost their business, I was like, I need you on my podcast. End of discussion. Like, it was not even like, okay. I'm gonna put you through our system to decide. I'm like, no. You're helping Podcast. You're on.

Because as a podcaster, it's like, I need this. I need to know how to grow my podcast. Like, I know the organic way. I know all the little kind of like the black hat ways, if you will. Yeah. They're not really bad. They're just like, they're, they're time consuming. Yeah.
