Thank You Ko-fi

Thank You Ko-fi

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to those of you who tune into the BTW Podcast, I certainly appreciate YOU; your support allows me to share stories of ordinary people doing EXTRAordinary things within their communities.  During my travels around the state I come in contact with individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs and I'd share the podcast with them, but I had no way of allowing them to support the podcast prior to Ko-fi-the same could be said of those online.  I was introduced to Ko-fi by Latoya Shauntay Snell a fellow podcaster and runner.  Since the inception of BTW Podcast I've been hesitant to ask for listener support.  Nothing great was ever created in a vacuum alone by one person, your support of the vision of BTW Podcast allows me to share stories of incredible individuals, it provides entertainment hope and inspiration to those who tune in to each episode. 

They're are so many creative people within the running community/beyond and under the umbrella of RUNUTAINMENT the CREATIVE RUNNING COLLECTIVE will create Netflix type stories for your ears.  While I love audio, I know everyone may not share my passion, some people may prefer the written word.  With that in mind we're introducing UINC. & RUNUTAINMENT Magazines, UINC. will focus on leadership, entrepreneurship, and RUNUTAINMENT will capture the written stories from the guest that appear on the BTW Podcast for the month.

The launching of my Ko-fi page is me embracing my talents, this is me walking in my purpose, this is me taking the leap, acknowledging that what I'm doing is providing a valuable service for the audience, the guest and the sponsors.  BTW Podcast is a business.  You can visit Derek Oxley to stay up today on current happenings with BTW, sign up for the New letter, check out the blog or order merchandise.  If you're tired of a station that doesn't speak to your needs and you're interested in learning more about the BTW Podcast visit RUNUTAINMENT .  Oh yeah I haven't mentioned my Ko-fi page.

I took the leap 4years ago to drive for Uber/Lyft Full-time, so I could have the flexibility to devote to building BTW Podcast.  Ko-fi is platform that will allow entrepreneurs/business owners to sponsor an episode PRE, MID or POST roll, it also allows you to buy me a cup of coffee.

Thanks for accompanying my on this ride.  Leave a voicemail on Anchor to let us know how we’re doing and receive a shout out in a future episode or you can now visit my brand spanking new BTW Podcast website in lower righthand corner there's a microphone simply click that and record a message.
