| 0:00.0 | Welcome, this is an awesome podcast to the Jeff, there's a lot of whiskey, Jeff Macalino, |
| 0:15.3 | Jeff Macalino, Macalino, Macalino, podcast, hey, hey, thanks for joining me, folks, got |
| 0:28.7 | a great one for you today. I am with Bill Ottman, the co-founder and CEO of Mines.com Mines with |
| 0:42.2 | the MINDS. So got a fun one for you. I'll tell you more about him in a second. I'm recording |
| 0:52.1 | this only the day before I release this episode. I was going to record it last night and I got |
| 0:58.5 | nice last minute surprise tickets to the lightning game. So got to, excuse me, lost my voice a |
| 1:07.3 | little bit. Got to go to Emily Arena and enjoy my first lightning game of the season and they |
| 1:15.2 | won five to three. So that was nice. So excuse me if my voice cracks a couple times. I think my |
| 1:24.9 | voice was fine when I interviewed Bill, but this intro outro. I did shuffle up episodes. I'll |

| 2:30.1 | protecting privacy, independent media, all this kind of stuff. |
| 2:37.7 | I was almost nervous to talk to him, but I think I think he did a very good job explaining |
| 2:43.0 | everything to me when it comes to some more maybe technical terms that were a little above my |
| 2:51.6 | level of knowledge when it comes to that. But he does a very good job breaking it down kind of. |
| 2:58.7 | So even even a dummy like myself can understand it. So I hope you enjoy that. Before you listen |
| 3:06.1 | to that, you should go down to the show notes. Oh, actually, I'll say this too. I did start my own |
