Howdy. Welcome to another episode of the Mark Rose podcast. I mean, wanting to use Howdy more, you know.

We're in Idaho, and it just feels like the right way to greet people here. I need to cowboy it up a little bit. I'm actually

currently wearing a denim shirt as I record this. So, you know, I think the only thing that's

getting in the way is that I'm allergic to horses. So there's that. Yeah. Okay, well, that aside,

done. That's interesting. So that's like hiding accounts, hiding debt, things like that. And I don't

think this is a subject that's spoken about enough, just like how much energetics and
