Hello my dear Asterites, welcome to the Asterwussle.

Hey everybody, what's going on?

Welcome to the Astera Hustle. I am Kory Allen.

As always, it is an absolute and distinct pleasure to be speaking to you in this moment in time,

to have the sounds and the shapes of my throat creating audible symbols that are flowing through my microphone into your headphones and well

probably you maybe you're listening to this on speakers if so I hope you have the

so before granked up.

My friend Kevin Kaiser, who's been on the podcast a lot,

told me recently that, well, first, whenever we talk on the phone,

he generally, whenever I say hello, he'll say, this is Corey Allen.

And then he told me that he walks on the house doing impersonations of my voice to himself.

I don't know if that's true or not, but it seemed like it was true.

Funny regardless. Anyway, to have these symbols, audible symbols that I'm making flowing through the

microphone into your brain.

And whatever the symbols of my consciousness

and the symbols of your consciousness

intertwine and wind together into a braid

of information and synergy. That creates the story that you're experiencing right now.

And today to add to that story I have a very, very, very, very exciting announcement and that is I get to announce my book title. My book is called Now is the Way. How do you like that? I hope you like it because that's what it's called

now is the way and it's going to be published by Penguin Random House. So thank you and

much love to everyone involved in making that happen and I cannot wait even though it's going to be like a year or so before it actually comes out.

I cannot wait to share that with all of you. Of course I'll drop updates as things progress
