| 0:00.0 | Here we are back together again, friends, for another episode of the Juice Box podcast. |
| 0:14.7 | I'll be speaking with Connor today. |
| 0:16.6 | He has type 1 diabetes, but he's also a police officer. |
| 0:20.1 | And at the end of the episode, he tells a number of stories about, you know, being a cop. I've put them in a bonus episode. So when you get to the end of this, it's going to say, you know, Connor's stories of being a police officer are continued in the next episode. That's how I'm going to do it. So if you want to hear that, go check out the bonus episode. I think it's about 15 minutes long, just some stories of his career. And if you |

| 1:16.6 | all over the country. There's a link to the private Facebook group, to the Circle community, |
| 1:22.2 | and we have a fantastic thing there. American Sign Language. There's a great sign language interpreter who did |
| 1:28.3 | the entire Bold Beginning series in ASL. So if you know anybody who would benefit from that, |
