Hey y'all just a quick heads up the episode you're about to listen to is 8 to 10 years old

now these episodes were intended to be evergreen and I still believe there's a lot of good

information in these early episodes, but I do want to let you know that some of my ideas have evolved

over time. Times have changed since we made these episodes and ultimately I'd like to think I've grown

a lot as an artist and a human and that these don't necessarily represent my best work or the best of the podcast.

If you're new around here, I suggest starting with the most recent episode or at least go back to

around 300 and move forward from there.

Enjoy the episode. Well, you know what time it is. You hear that song and you know, it's time for the

creative Pep talk that you've been looking for all week. Right? I love that song. I don't know why.

I just love it. You know grab yourself a coffee I've got mine right here. Now I'd like

to take a little moment of silence for the death of the slurp. You know I was really conflicted about this on

past episodes you can hear me taking a giant slur of coffee and you know what I haven't

been doing that as much and I'll tell you why because I had several people reach out and say that it grossed

them out and you know what I'm all for being authentic and I like the slurp. You know, I got the idea for leaving the slurp in after

listening to an interview with Jerry Seinfeld where he said that he would call his good friend

and they would drink coffee over the phone and they could hear each other slurping the coffee and he really

liked that and I liked that and I thought you know what I'm a coffee guy let the slur

just be on on tape and but I'm not so authentic that I'm willing to let that ruin this for other people.

So I'll still be drinking the coffee.

I'm just gonna step away from the mic as I do it like this.

So I'm excited to tell you about this.
