| 0:00.0 | Hey there, Sustainable Minds. Thanks for downloading this week's episode. I did have a couple |
| 0:04.8 | technical difficulties, so while my guest audio definitely is easier to listen to, my side of the |
| 0:09.8 | conversation is lacking in quality a bit. Luckily, I'm not talking too much, so I hope it doesn't |
| 0:15.1 | detract from the listenability of the interview. Hopefully you won't use it against me. So here you go. |
| 0:20.7 | A Sustainable Mind, episode 50. Do you make sort use it against me. So here you go. A Sustainable Mind, |
