You're listening to a podcast.
So you're doing something else too, like maybe scrolling home listings on Redfin,
saving places you like without thinking you'll get them.
Because that's what house hunting has become.
But Redfin isn't built for endless browsing.
It's built to help you find and own a home.
Redfin agents close twice as many deals as other agents.
Which means when you find a place you love, you've got a real shot at getting it.

In the quare vibrante del carnevale di Venezia.
Colori e suoni riempionolaria.
Maschere detaillate e nascondono volti sorridenti.
Mentre la musica e i canti si diffondono attraverso i canali storici.
Tra la folla, Giovanni, un giovane studente d'arte, osserva attentamente.
Vuò le trovare l'ia, una musicista vivace con cui spera di condividere questo magico momento.
Giovanni cammina tra le strade a follate, notando le maschere intricate e i costumi stravaganti.
Ma ecco il problema.
Lui e l'ia hanno scambiato le maschere per errore con un noto conquistatore del carnevale.
Giovanni non vede l'ora di chiarire l'equivoco e di confidare i suoi sentimenti a l'ia.
Nel frattempo, l'ia è persano i festeggiamenti, cercando di evitare luomo galante che porta la sua maschera.
Lui è noto per essere un grande amatore e l'ia desidera solo trascorrere la serata in pace con Giovanni.
Mentre cerca una soluzione, sente una risata familiare.
Sa che è Giovanni?
Deve solo individuare da dove viene.
Deciso a trovare l'ia, Giovanni si arrampica su un piccolo ponte.
Dal suo punto di vista, spera di riconoscere il suono particolare e contagioso della risata di l'ia.
Sopra il mormoreo della festa, sente quella risata inconfondibile.
Elia
Pensa, e i suoi occhi vagano nella direzione del suono.
Nel momento in cui Giovanni e Lia si muovono per raggiungersi, luomo con la maschera di Lia pare, cercando ancora di attirare la sua attenzione.
Malia, determinata, decide di affrontarlo direttamente.
Lo segue fino al ponte, mentre Giovanni si avvicina dall'altra parte.
Sul ponte, incrociando finalmente le strade, Lia chiede di restituirle la maschera.
Proprio in quel momento, Giovanni compare.
In un attimo, il malinteso è chiaro a tutti.
Li circondano i curiosi che applaudono mentre Giovanni e Lia affrontano il galante con sorrisi inusitati.
Il conquistatore, reso si conto di essere ormai smascherato, restituisce la maschera con un lieve in chino e si dilegua tra la folla.
La folla applaude l'incontro.
Corrisate e occhi lucenti, Giovanni e Lia, ora insieme, finalmente possono godersi il carnevale.
In quell'istante, tra il turbinio di colori e musiche, Giovanni trova il coraggio di esprimere i suoi sentimenti.
Lia ride, ma il suo sguardo è dolce e colmo di affetto.
La confusione si trasforma in una storia da ricordare.
E mentre il sole cala sullo sfondo veneziano, Giovanni e Lia si uniscono al ballo, lasciando che il carnevale continui la sua magia.
Giovanni ha finalmente trovato il coraggio che cercava, e Lia prezza la sincerità di quel momento.
Insieme, camminano felici tra i vicoli storici della città, sapendo che questo è solo l'inizio di nuove avventure.

Hey, it's Danielle Fischel from Pod Meets World, and as a mom to two growing boys, I know how chaotic meal time can get.
No matter how confident I am with what I'm serving them, my kids will always find a way to call the meal gross, or stinky, or...
Yuck!
It's true. They can be wildly picky about new foods, and with my busy schedule, I don't have the time to become America's next top chef.
And so that's why I love Nurture Life.
It's a meal delivery service that actually caters to kids, ideal for ages eight months to eight years, fully cooked and ready to serve in just one minute.
It's the problem solver I've been praying for.
It's the top meal delivery service for babies, toddlers, and kids, and everything is designed by registered dieticians.
So you can sleep safe knowing your kids are getting the protein, veggies, and nutrients they need, while still eating favorites like mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, and so much more.
Plus, it's allergy-friendly, which we know is clutch.
And when it comes to options, Nurture Life has you covered.
There's more than 50 nutritious meals and snacks on their menu, from soft finger foods for babies and toddlers, to balanced kids meals for when they get older.
