All right, welcome back to the Boostly Podcast. This is a very special one because this is the announcement and the launch of my new solo YouTube channel which is going to be launching on the 5th of February 2025, also known as Book Direct Day. You can go over to YouTube now, click on the link below or click on the link on the screen or find it somewhere online. I'm sure I'll have sent it to you in some way, shape or form. Is called the Mark Simpson Business Channel and on there I'm going to be talking about all things business, but obviously going to still be tapping into my short term rental routes. The first video is ready to go. It's going to be going live on Wednesday 5th February and then every Wednesday was going to be a new video. It's going to be me coming out of this office. It's me going to be going and traveling around, focusing on short term rentals, talking about business, AI and all the other things that I want to talk about that I don't get a chance to on this channel. This channel channel is obviously going to stay exactly the same. It's going to be interviews. Liam is going to be showcasing hosts, spotlighting vendor companies. I'll drop in from time to time and do some solo episodes and also some group episodes. But this new channel is going to be a little project of mine for 2025 to see how it goes. So go ahead and over. Please go and subscribe and I will see you over there. For the launch video which is Wednesday the 5th of February, 2020 and 25, I'm gonna give you a little sneak peek and a teaser of the first episode that is going to be coming out. So go ahead and check that out. The teaser and then the full video will be on Wednesday.
