Hey gang, Matt Dixon here.

Just before we dive into today's show, I just want to give you a heads up

because we're obviously recording this about COVID-19,

and it's in a situation that for all of us, is progressing.

It's progressing not just weekly or daily, but hourly.

So please take that into context when you listen to the show.

I also want to say that myself, Kelly, Purple Patch, we're here to support you.

We want you to stay safe and also realize that now is the time to double down your fitness, your health, the great habits, but also empathy and kindness to each other.

I can never do this full scenario justice, but I hope today my

words, well, I just hope that they empower some of you to reduce a little fear, take some control,

commit to a little structure, and be able to keep moving forward. We're all impacted,

and so Kelly and I wanted to send our best wishes to absolutely everyone

and implore all of us to think about others and do all we can to help. I hope you enjoy the show,

or at least find it useful. I want to note that today's show is a little less structured than usual.

I just speak, no real notes from the heart,

less structured. And so you might just hear me doing a few more pauses or umps or oars.

But the truth is, I just wanted to provide an honest and raw set of feelings around a very

loose structure. So please forgive some of that stuff, eh? Word of the week? Well, it's just a title today.

I just talked from the cuff. Meat and potatoes, eight bullets. The rest, just little me. And so,

enjoy the show, and please, please, take care. And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever, your host Matt Dixon.

And, well, it's a different week.

It's different times right now.
