Roasters, having coffee in beautiful Colorado Springs,

and we're going to have a good conversation today with Alex Kirkendale.

Alex, thanks for being with us.

I'm happy to be here.

Yeah, you live in Denver, which is about an hour north of us,

and your history is that you've worked for Mops,

mothers of preschool organization that a lot of our listeners will know about, and you are full on the mom with four girls, beautiful

girls, and you brought them with you today.

I do.

We are a traveling pack.

Yeah, here in Colorado Springs, it isn't as unusual to see a large family walk into a coffee shop in Denver.

We turn a lot of heads because they are all girls and they range in age from almost 15 to almost six.

Yeah, yeah, you bring your entourage. It's pretty cool. Yeah, lock them up. It's like, they're beautiful girls.

I have three boys, so it's a good thing I didn't bring my three boys.

They'd be like, hi, who are these nice girls?

So we might actually even get interrupted because that's real life.
