| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody? Welcome to Side Us All School. Welcome to Throback Thursday. This is our weekly segment |
| 0:10.4 | also known as Where Are They Now? Where we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved |
| 0:15.0 | considerably since we first featured them. Perhaps on year one, year two, or year three of the podcast. I |
| 0:20.7 | can't believe this has been going on for so long. It's actually been going on for 1363 days. I know |
| 0:26.3 | that some of our listeners have been with us from the beginning. Thank you so much. Of course, if you |
| 0:30.8 | have joined along the way, that's awesome too. We have an amazing community of people all over the |
| 0:35.3 | world who are all interested in finding financial security. Maybe it's not finding it. It's more like |
| 0:40.4 | creating it because you don't just discover it. You have to do something for it. We've got stories |

| 1:13.7 | done multiple projects, multiple campaigns that have brought in multiple six-figures each time. I |
| 1:20.0 | think his first one did like $100,000, no small thing. He just wrapped up a new project that brought in, |
| 1:27.3 | I believe it's right under a million dollars on Kickstarter. That new game is called Bristol 1350 |
| 1:34.2 | and it's all about the plague. It's about surviving the plague and different choices people make |
| 1:38.2 | and such, which, fun fact, this is actually a coincidence. It's not connected to COVID-19. This |
| 1:43.8 | guy and his team, they were working on the project for two years and when the time came to actually |
| 1:48.3 | launch the crowdfunding campaign, they were like, oh, is this appropriate? Are we being sensitive |
| 1:52.4 | enough? But they found a way to kind of manage that and just include some messaging about how, |
| 1:56.9 | you know, as I said, they've been working on it for two years. So anyway, big success there, but |
