So Holly, I've got an idea for our road trip. How about we do some Q&A from our Patreon members? What do you say?

Do you think they're really gonna like that?

Probably not, but we need to give them more content so they get more bang for their buck and their Patreon membership.

So I'll tell them where we're going. We're going to the Grand Canyon and turn around and we'll see what happens.

But I've been brainstorming a name for this set of Q&A, Holly. Are you ready for it? I finally think I came up with something clever.

Alright, hit me with it. Alright, so we're going with our two dogs, George and Genevieve. They're in the backseat of the CRV and then Holly's driving right now.

But this is the name that I came up with.

The doggy style, Colin, a peak from behind, our Route 66 road trip. What do you think, Holly?

You've really outdone yourself this time, Austin.

So you get it, we've got two dogs, so we'll call it doggy style. And then a peak since we're both peaks, we'll spell it PEK.

And then this is our Route 66 road trip. So it should be fun.

And that episode is out right now for all Patreon members, so just check your Patreon feed. And now on to this episode.

But then again, I still like a year when things got better, when we were not thinking about going out of business every day, socializing kicked in.

Actually, I probably should not be telling you that because that's illegal according to Belarusian law.

Yeah, so let's start with how we approached building the product and bringing it to the market. And I was going to get us to our first major mistake.

My name is Mikita Mikado. I run a company called Panda Doc and I'm based in San Francisco Bay area. I live in Pacifica and I work in San Francisco.

Where's Pacifica? It's a small, cool surf town south west of San Francisco.

Do you travel back and forth from where you were born or now? Oh, yeah. All the time I go to Belarus from from at least three times a year.

Okay, because I think that might have been where you were last time when we did the pre-interview. Tell us a little bit about Belarus if people don't know where that is.

And what it's like because we got people who listen across the world. Sure thing. Belarus is a small country between Poland and Russia.

It is a former Soviet state that got independence in 1991. It's the beautiful country with good people. It is a small country.

I'm from the capital of Belarus. Belarus is the city of Minsk, which is a decent sized city. About two million people live there.
