Hey, you guys, it's JJ and Dave, and we hope that you've been enjoying instrumental.

It might not seem like it, but making every episode takes an average of 20 to 30 hours of our time.

And we love working on the show, and we consider it our gift to you, because we believe these

stories need to exist in the world. As we continue to work on future

episodes, there are a few things that you can do as well. If you're listening on Apple Podcasts,

please take a minute or two to leave a review. This really simple act helps other people discover

the show. Another way your friends can discover the show is if you tell them.

We really think these stories can change someone's life.

But it can't change their life if they don't know about it.

So sometimes all it takes is a little nudge from you.

Lastly, you might have noticed we don't have ads on Instrumental this season. That means we're not making any money from you. Lastly, you might have noticed we don't have ads on instrumental this season. That means

we're not making any money from it. That is true. So an easy way to financially support the show is to

simply listen to JJ's music on your favorite streaming service. It's as easy as telling Siri or

Alexa to play music by J.J. Heller. Okay, let's start the show.

I'm J.J. Heller, and this is Instrumental, a show about the big and small moments that shape our lives.

In every episode, my guest and I start near the end of their story and work our way back

to the beginning. I hope our conversation reminds you that every second matters, because none of us

knows which moment will be the one that changes everything. Big world happens in the small moments.

Hey, everybody, it's JJ.

Hi, it's JJ.

And you are?

It's Day.
