| 0:00.0 | Mentero Messages has been a podcast on our hearts and minds for a long time. |
| 0:04.3 | When I started doing Mentero Meaningful Mondays on my Instagram, it was meant to inspire and create a community for people to know they're not alone. |
| 0:11.0 | And now we get to do that on this podcast, which we're so excited to do. |
| 0:14.9 | With the recent events that have happened in our family, our first episode is in honor of our brother, Dave Stokeau. |
| 0:20.7 | The following is a statement that we released to the media immediately after Dave's death. |
| 0:25.3 | Our hearts are broken over the loss of Dave. |

| 1:20.0 | lives, we just really felt like this is what we needed to start off with. So, Neil and I both |
| 1:26.7 | felt really strongly about that. And this is, the podcast |
| 1:29.7 | itself is something that we've felt really strongly that we needed to do for months and months. |
| 1:36.3 | And so it just feels like this recent event and all the things that went into it and and the good things that have come from it, ironically, even though it felt like such a bad thing when it happened. |
| 1:51.0 | It just really fits with what we're trying to do here with this podcast in general. |
