Hi there. You're here because you want to be a part of the podcast as a one-time or regular contributor.
We're happy to have you!

Many of you are abroad, and can never seem to make it to the 1pm EST Friday call. You still have an 
opportunity to participate. Here's what you need to do:

1) Tell us ahead of time that you want to have your status in the next podcast.
   Why? Because we go around the group and handoff to the next person, so we
   want the moderator (which can be anyone) to say your name, and we'll splice
   you in during POST
   
2) Record your status. Please use high-quality audio settings. I recommend using Audacity because 
   its free.

   Hi, I'm [YOUR NAME] and I [WHAT YOU DO / WHAT YOU USED TO DO]
   Right now I'm working on [DESCRIBE WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON AS IF EVERYONE IS HEARING IT FOR THE 
   FIRST TIME]
   
   What I'm trying to do now is [DESCRIBE THE EFFORT YOU ARE TAKING NOW TO DEVELOP OR MARKET YOUR 
   PRODUCT]
   
   [SOMETHING ELSE INTERESTING]
   /END
   
   I highly recommend that you WRITE this script for yourself ahead of time, and practice saying 
   it a few times. Not all of use are gifted public speakers, but you can fake it with some good 
   reading/rehearsing skills.
   
   Don't be afraid, let your hair down and talk. If you regret anything you say, just let me 
   (Barry Welch), Micheal Buckbee, or Aaron Francis know and we'll edit out your worrisom bit 
   before go-live. Usually, it takes a minimum of 3-days before we publish, so you have time 
   to tell us.
   
  3) Record your outro. 
  
     At this point in the recording, we're sharing our web-identities and addresses: twitter, 
     homepage, etc.
     
     Here's a script for that:
     
     I'm [YOUR NAME], and you can find me on the web at [@YOUR_TWITTER_HANDLE], or at 
     [www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com] (Optional) extend an invitation to reach out to you, include an 
     offer of some kind.
     
     
  4) Send your status / intro files to [email protected] by sharing a public link from Dropbox
  
  Thanks!
