You Please subscribe to the show . You see the channel . There . You get all of our recent episodes and everything from season four . I'd say you have access to that because it's going to be our video and audio .

Now , if you are audio listening , we have several of you guys that don't do YouTube , you don't do Twitter , you barely do Facebook , but you do listen to the show . First off , thank you for being consistent and loving the show the way you love it and listening the way you want to listen to it . We definitely appreciate that .

Now that's going to be audio listeners . So you're listening on Pandora , iheartradio , spotify or using Apple Podcasts . Apple Podcasts is the only place you can subscribe to our podcast . The other ones don't allow you to do that . It's been like that for years . Not quite sure why that's still going on , but that's the thing . That's what's going on .

So sorry about any confusion there , but Apple Podcasts will allow you to subscribe to our podcast . So please go to Apple Podcasts to hit the subscribe button and you get access to all of our episodes , all the way back to season one .

That being said , recently I shared a quick vision of the podcast , the direction that we're going , the why that we started this podcast in 2020 , some of the new direction that we are undertaking the past six months , and I got some great response from you guys regarding that . Thank you for listening to the episode .

If you missed it , it's right there , it's available . It's talking about casting a vision . I think that's part of the title casting vision so you can check that out and you can kind of hear where we started from , in a quick snippet anyways , and what we're trying to accomplish .

Also , just a quick tip I'm not trying to get you to give us more download , but this is kind of important In order for you to understand where we are now , where we're going . You got to understand where we came from .

So , for all you guys to support me on a personal basis and for you guys to support the podcast because you like what we're talking about , you like what's happening , you like to see all the different aspects of our life our family , marriage , relationships , uh , things that we're doing , uh , gardening and agricultural wise , and even the sports content , family and

life and the culture that we talk about in our society and all of the teachings that are going out there . Regarding that , season one to season three is all audio . I don't have any video there . So when you go to listen Apple Podcasts , for example , hit subscribe button and you'll see all of the podcasts pop up .

They'll populate for you from season one all the way up to now . The first three seasons seasons one , two and three are all audio . There's no video attached , but it's a lot more in-depth . It's a lot very authentic and what we're talking about .

We're talking about things regarding , uh , biblical teachings and , uh , we're talking a lot about family life relationships . We talked a lot about business and entrepreneurship .

A lot was going on those first three seasons , but they're definitely great context for you to understand why we're doing what we're doing and why we're going in the direction that we're going in and why I come to you to where I am today , asking for your support . I want you to understand the heart of why we're doing what we're doing .

Some folks jump in at the back leg and they're looking at sports and they think that's what we're talking about . I'm trying to be the next ESPN guy . If you know me , you know better . I don't care to do that . It's not my goal . It's not a mountain I'm trying to climb . It's not my interest whatsoever . There's a reason why I'm doing sports .

If you listen to some of the shows , you'll see why I'm trying to do that . I try to be as clear as I can on most of the episodes in regards to that .

If you go back to seasons one through three and you listen to the heart of this podcast , you see , probably in the first episode and even especially in the season one I emphasize it a lot during that time you see the heart of why we're doing what we're doing and why we're diversifying the way we are right now .

You saw a glimpse of it even back then in the first season . So check out seasons one through three . I want you to catch the vision and understand why we're doing what we're doing and why we're asking for your support in regards to financial support and , of course , hit and subscribe and Apple podcast for the audio side and , of course , the YouTube channel .

We're asking for your subscription to help us move forward into different things we could talk about shortly ,

but I know that recently you guys got a chance to see the presidential debate . I was on the air live so I didn't get a chance to see any of that , so I heard a lot of the backlash . But today we're doing the state of the U address , state of the call me , mr U address today .

All right , so first thing , in our episode description , especially on the audio side , specifically on the audio side , there's a link at the top of the episode description . The link says if you want to send Mr you a text , click this link . Nothing wrong with it , it's good . What that allows you to do is to send me . It could be a topic idea .

Most times it's a question about something we're talking about on the show . It could be a comment , it could be the question you were thinking about , even if it covers anything in the realm of sports , family life , culture , entrepreneurship , whatever we talk about on this show , on this entire brand of podcast .

You can send a link or hit that link there and you can send a text to me directly and I will respond to your comment or your question and try to answer it on the very next episode that we do , no matter what brand of shows that episode is going to be on under , I'll answer it . So it's basically called fan mail .

It's a link at the top of our episode descriptions in our podcast host account so you can see that copied out . And , of course , if you go to social media , you can see a lot of those descriptions there in the show , whether it be on YouTube , whether it be an Apple podcast , spotify , whatever it is .

You can see the link there , you can click on it and it'll allow you to send me a text that I can read and respond to on our very next episode of the show . It's really cool because you got a chance to be interactive and to really be a part of the show .

And if you can't be there live when we do most of our shows which is what we do mostly three , four days a week they're live you can send that question or comment via text and I can still have you involved and be interactive and I can answer it on the very next episode . I just want you to know that . That was there . It's available for you .

Also , you're going to be noticing a lot of they Call Me Mr you one-on-one interviews taking place on the show . I've been wanting to do that for a while the first three seasons I've kind of labored . I wanted it so badly but I just couldn't make it work . Season four was obviously the right time .

It was a green light go to do more interviews and we're hearing some very compelling stories so far .

I'm so excited about what we've been hearing from people , stories that have been unfolding and just the things that we've been learning about people that we labor with , people that are friends and associates and connections about , and we're hearing so many things that are so touching and so heartbreaking in some cases and enlightening in other cases , and I'm excited

about keeping that going . We're definitely going to do that . We have some people on the calendar for more interviews , but I want to kind of open it up for you guys . I'm not going to interview everybody that says I want to kind of open it up for you guys . I'm not going to interview everybody that says I want to be interviewed .

There is a process for this . There is a vetting process , if you will , regarding this , but I want to let you know that we're not looking for some big names or people who are so-called famous or so-called social media influencers . I don't care about that . I care about the story . I care about what is relatable .

I care about if our viewers and listeners who I know better than you guys do and what I think they're going to enjoy to hear enjoy listening to and learning from and gleaning from . So that's open . We're going to talk about that .

If you have a question about potentially being an interviewee or you have a question about the process of that , you know somebody who you think may be a good fit . We got podcast communities that are feeding us information like this , so we have a pool to choose from .

But I want to open it up to people who actually know me , that are not strangers to me and think I might find value in some areas . Email me directly at . They call me Mr U at gmailcom . It's M-I-S-T-A-Y-U . They call me Mr U M-I-S-T-A-Y-U at gmailcom . Send me an email .

I take a look at the request and see if it fits what we're trying to accomplish and I'll let you know directly . More than happy to do that .

As some of you have been thinking about financially supporting us , I kind of want to make it clear that it could help us in some of the community things that we're trying to accomplish , but just upkeep of the equipment , some upgrades that are needed camera-wise , some of the new things that we're getting ready to do , some new shows we're getting ready to launch

or relaunch things like that . So the brand is growing and it requires some finances . Obviously , it's not just a microphone and a computer . There's a lot going on back here . So we definitely could use the financial support . Subscribing to the YouTube channel and Apple Podcasts trust me , it does help .

It allows us to have some flexibility , which I'll talk about in a second . But as far as the support goes , we've got some friends that are helping us out . They financially support us every single month and , of course , you don't have to do that , but it's an option .

We have the opportunity to do that and you can do that through our podcast host account , which the information should be published on the socials or in our YouTube channel should be there , for sure or in one of the links to our Buzzsproutcom account , which is our podcast host . You can actually help us out financially there . Walk you through how to do it .

It's not hard , it's not anything laborious , it's pretty easy . Hey , we'll walk you through how to do it . Walk you through how to do it . It's not hard , it's not anything laborious .

It's pretty easy and you can just decide how often you want to support us if it's monthly or what have you and how much you want to support us with , not begging , just making an option there for you that you guys can do that If you'd like to help support us financially .

End of the day , one of the reasons why we ask about financial support and for the subscriptions is not because we're trying to get famous . I have to reiterate that because people don't seem to understand sometimes and they make judgments about that . I want to make sure that people understand what we're trying to accomplish . Now .

We have analytics and stats behind our podcasts and all those things drive our growth and they drive our productivity . So every time that we have a show , there's stats attached to it . Every episode that we publish , there's stats attached to it .

Like most stuff in life , there's performance and things that are incentive-based when you grow and you provide enough content and you have enough downloads and you have enough reaction to those downloads and how many people are streaming your podcast . All those things are things that our podcast hosts and that's what they care about .

Okay , that being said , there is a metric and we talk about it pretty often , but they're called in the podcast world we call them DLs , but that's their downloads . So what that is is it has to be an authentic download .

That means you have to go to one of our sites like a Spotify or a Apple podcast and actually hit the download button on episodes , and we need to have that happen at a greater pace , at least for the next two or three days . So what that means is that when you hear this episode , that clock's already started .

As soon as this episode is cleared to you and you can see it on your feeds , that means the three-day clock starts . So what we're looking to do is try to smash the goal of 296 downloads . Now , you think that's a lot because you think about being one person . It's not . If you go into Spotify or Pandora , you yourself , with one press of a button .

It's usually an arrow in most of those cases , but I'm not quite sure what it is . It depends on which medium you're actually using . But when you hit that button , it'll download every episode of our show , and we have almost 400 episodes that we've done in this show .

So one person can solve this analytical issue , so to speak , what that does , and I want to encourage you to do that . I hope that there's more than one of you that does do that . What that allows us to do . It allows us to give free advertising to many podcasts members of our community who I definitely care to support .

Some I won't support , but there's some that I do want to support , and giving them free advertising on our show is something I want to do . We do interviews with guests on the show , while we have podcast shows with people who are new to podcasting and trying to get their feet wet , because I want to give a platform to people who I think should have that .

So , free advertising for the people who are doing some of these really good shows and offering really good content . I want to support them through this show as much as I can . As long as I can get behind it spiritually and morally .

I want to do that , and reaching that download plateau , so to speak , or that benchmark , will allow us to be able to advertise more for them and , of course , it will bring some revenue to the show .

It will allow us to with every download , it will allow us to get a percentage of that coming to the show and that will help grow the show financially as well . So there's a lot of things going on , but I want to just give you a quick update on what we're talking about and why we ask for support . I hope that it all makes sense to you .

I promise you you get clarity . If you check out seasons one through three of our audio podcast , I promise you get clarity about why we're doing what we're doing . So we're looking for a goal of 296 downloads within the next three days . If it's possible for it to be done today , even better . If we can smash that number and triple it , that's even better .

If we can go even beyond that , it's going to be great . It's going to open the door for us to do a lot more things that we haven't been able to do on this show in almost four years . September's our four year anniversary .

So we definitely want to try to smash that goal in the next few days because I think it's going to help us do more and take a next step on our anniversary and beyond . So please continue to like , share , subscribe to the Call Me Mr Uter podcast . We have a host of shows that are out there .
