Happy Sunday my friend,

I hope that you are doing very well! I can hardly believe it, but over the past 2 months, my podcast, The Breakdown with Shaun King, has had the most listens we’ve had in nearly 3 years! I learned nearly 25 years ago that popularity comes and goes in seasons. It never lasts, but if you are taking care of business, it’ll come back around. So while we are riding this wave, could you please do me a few favors? (Thanks in advance)

1. Please subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You can simply click those links to go there now, ok? It’s completely free.

2. Please, please, PLEASE listen to some episodes now, and daily, if you can! We are now all the way up to 724 episodes and will cross episode #1,000 late next year! Just pick some and listen when you can please.

3. On Apple Podcasts, we have 4.9 stars with over 12,000 reviews! That’s about as good as it gets. But if you haven’t left a review there yet, please do so tonight if you can! We need all of you over there!

Here’s why…

The more listens, the more subscribers, the more reviews we have - 2 things happen… those platforms share the podcast to new listeners and we are able to get better rates from better companies for ads - which we need to pay our podcast staff.

Thank you all so much. I love and appreciate each of you!

Your Friend and Brother,

Shaun
