This is for you if you have been listening LONGER than a YEAR

**Drew Ackerman** (0:00)
Hey, everybody, this is Scoots here. And if you're hearing me, I got a question. Have you been listening to the show longer than one year? If the answer is no, just stop listening or skip this message or tune me out. If you've been listening longer than a year, I want you to close your eyes if they're not already closed. And I want you to imagine you're in a room with 99 other listeners. OK, now, that's great. Thanks for listening to the show longer than a year. Awesome. Now, if you listen to the show only occasionally, I want you to open your eyes and leave the room. That could be one episode a week, or you only listen to the episode during the year when you need it, you know, during big events during the year. OK, now go ahead, everybody who's left, open your eyes. There's only 20 people left in the room. 80 people left because 8 out of 10 people that have been listening to the year, they only count on the show on call when they need it. OK, close your eyes again. And again, this message, I want to make sure get this message out with your eyes closed. Whatever whatever you decide is fine. This podcast will be here for you. And the reason I work so hard getting these messages out, so the podcast will be here for you. But if you're not interested or you just can't support the show by spreading the word or supporting the show directly to our sponsors, it's totally OK. The podcast will be here for you for whatever reason. You're not interested or you just can't support the show or you just don't want to. Go ahead and tune me out. Pretend to leave the room, I guess, in a sense. All right, you're still here, huh? OK, open your eyes. There's only 10 people left in the room out of the original 100 It's cool that you're left. I want you to close your eyes again and think about if Sleep With Me is a gift.
Like has it been a gift in your life?
Like has it been a positive impact on your sleep? Has it better than what you had before you listened to Sleep With Me? Has it impacted your days? Does it feel like a gift? Does it feel good to receive that gift? And think about two things. One, that this gift could be even better for you and your sleep. And two, what would it be like to give that gift to 99 other people right now? Because the reality is, even though your eyes are closed and there's nine other people's eyes are closed, I've been doing this long enough that it's either you or one other person who's listening to me and willing to give that gift, to take the action. And because the gift is, in this case, spreading the word about the show, in this case is like thinking about supporting the show on Sleep With Me Plus. Because not only will the gift to Sleep With Me get better, because your listening experience is going to be so much more amazing, because Sleep With Me Plus was built based on people who listen to the show all the time, who've listened to the show for a long time and develop preferences.
But that's a reality.
One out of a hundred people, like if you give, if you support the show, not only are you getting the best way for you to listen, the best way for you to keep sleeping to the show, but you really are giving that, I mean to over 99 other people, but those 99 other people that have been listening longer than a year, who count on the show, whose lives have been changed by the show. This isn't like some obscure thing. You are actually giving them that gift. And think about the gift that was like, does Sleep With Me feel like a gift for you? Does it, has it relieved something? Has it brought you comfort? Has it made your days better? Has it improved your life? Whatever it is about, that you love about the show that's made you listen longer than a year, maybe two years, maybe four years, maybe 10 years. What if you could give that gift to just one person? But think about the faces of those 99 other people.
If that gift was just there waiting for them. Like if you could hand them that gift, if you could box up Sleep With Me and how good it feels for you, and give it to somebody else. It feels amazing when I just get one email, right? And I know the impact the show's had on one other person.
