We love our listeners! Transcript D.J. Paris 0:12Hello, everyone, and welcome to keeping it real. The largest podcast made for real estate agents buy real estate agents. My name is DJ Parris, I'm your guide and host. Today is a quick and special episode, we do not have any guests, or any major topics of discussion around how to build your real estate business, or how to learn from top agents who have already built their business. So what are we doing today? Well, we just wanted to spend a few minutes and give you an update on some things that are going on here at the show that I think are very exciting. But I know if I were a listener, which I'm sort of not because I'm the host, but our listeners I suspect would like to know about. So this will be a very quick episode, I appreciate you sticking with us through it, because I think it's some exciting and cool stuff. But I sorry, at first that you downloaded this episode thinking you were going to hear from a top producer, and this one you're not, you're just going to hear from me. I am definitely not a top producer. I'm not a producer at all. But I am wanted first on behalf of everyone here at our show to say thank you. We do this a lot. We say a lot of things. But we really, really mean it. And the whole reason we do this show is because we have listeners, right? And we started the show, we actually had to go back and look it up. Because people asked me how how old is the show. And I'm like, I don't know, five years, something like that? Well, it turns out, it's four years and nine months old as of today, which we're nearing the latter part of February of 2022. So it's almost five years old. And we I never thought that I would continue with it for as long as I have, because I just didn't think anyone would be that interested, quite frankly, I'm so grateful that the audience has continued to grow. And in fact, in the last six months, we also just looked up some of these statistics, our audience size has grown by almost two times. And we're just and we don't spend money on advertising. So this is strictly because of you guys. So I have to say thank you, because you're the exact reason why we have got to almost 350 episodes in that amount of time. So thank you for continuing to tell other agents about the show. And that's the only thing that we really ever asked of our audience is to tell other agents about us. We also want to say thank you, of course to all of our advertisers and sponsors, who support our show and help keep the lights on. Without you, we wouldn't be able to keep doing this. And we have added additional members to our team based on some of the revenue that we receive from our sponsors. So please, everyone listening support our sponsors, they support us, you support us. They're great sponsors. We handpick them, we're so so honored to have sponsors on the show, because it allows us to do more shows. So thank you to all of the sponsors. So thanks. Also to our staff, I really have to single out zonna, who is our producer and our casting director, she's behind the scenes, you probably don't know her, unless you've been a guest on our show, or that you've maybe reached out to our show, she answers all viewer mail or email or different social media communication, she coordinates all of the interviews, she does the pre interviews, once the episode is over, she then post produces the episode, she creates a video version and audio version. And just really honestly does about 90% of all of the work that is needed to put out the show. And she gets very little fanfare credit.
