0:21.9	match and how it works during the break. But if you want to go there right now, all you got to do is

0:47.6	Welcome to the Invest Like a Boss podcast. I'm Sam Marks and I'm Johnny FD. We're self-made
0:52.3	entrepreneurs who invest our own money and use modern technology to invest like a boss. Join us each week for exclusive interviews with our
0:58.2	network of modern investors, business owners, and multimillionaires to discover new ways to invest our
1:02.8	hard-earned cash. Guys, welcome to Invest Like a Boss podcast. Today is all about international allocation. We call this Index Funds 202, plus a Zoom 101 masterclass for Sam.

1:51.0	I'm like, that doesn't do any good, thanks, but like I'm going to have to copy that.
1:55.0	What I actually used to do is I would copy it, open up email, send it to myself by email, open up email on my desktop,
2:02.5	and then open up the link. But then Johnny doesn't actually have to send it to me because I
2:07.4	have it already in my calendar. So every time we're about to start an episode, he WhatsApps it to me.
2:11.7	I'm like, all right, it's pointless. So why are you doing this? And so he showed me this thing
2:15.7	called continuity, which is an incredible innovation.
