Hey every body, this is a pretty special day—a mile stone, if you will. It’s a special day because this is the 200th episode of Being A Better Man!
That’s right guys! Exactly 464 days ago I sat down to the Being A Better Man microphone and recorded the very first episode. Now here we are at number 200…pretty crazy right?
It’s astounding to me, because when I started this I didn’t know if I would make to episode 30. I had no idea what was going to happen or how it would be received, but here we are celebrating 200 shows.
In the past 464 days about 245,000 of you have downloaded an episode. That’s almost a quarter million…so that seems kind of significant. That means that for the past 464 days 528 people somewhere in the world have listened to the show every single day. That’s the average, and since I only make three a week it includes all the days that I don’t release a new episode. Every day, about 528 people listen. That’s pretty cool.
This would not have been possible without you guys out there tuning in. Without you guys I would just be a guy in a man cave talking to myself but you guys made this happen, so thank you.
If it wasn’t for the download evidence that people were actually listening, and if it wasn’t for all the amazing feedback I’ve gotten from listeners, I probably would have stopped doing this a long time ago.
There were times when I started questioning if I was having an impact, and started wondering if I should do something different…and then I would get a letter from some body telling me that listening has helped them make improvements in their life. Or I would get a letter thanking me for saving their marriage and for keeping their family together. I even got some letters from wives of listeners thanking me for the difference the show is making in their home.
These letters that I got from you over these past 464 days are what made all the difference for me. They are like fuel for my spirit, I love getting them. They let me know we were on the right track here and that the show was in fact making a difference. So thank you to everyone who ever reached out and said anything to me at all, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You know recently I was sort of going through this again. I was telling my wife I was thinking about scaling back, that three episodes a week were just becoming too much with everything else I have going on. I was thinking of going to just one episode a week, maybe two sometimes. In fact I was going to make this episode, episode 200, the point at which I made the change. But, then like every time before I got another letter from a listener that changed everything. It reminded me of the...
