Before we begin, I'd just like to say thank you to my friends at Hair Saloon for supporting this podcast and for providing space at their corporate offices to record it.

Hair Saloon's mission has as much to do with the restoration of men as it does with the business of hair cutting.

They try to make a difference in the lives of the thousands of men who come through their doors every week.

Hair Saloon is based in St. Louis, Missouri, and if you've ever been interested in running your own business and want to work with great people, I would highly recommend you check out the Hair Saloon Franchise Opportunity.

Go to hair saloonfranchise.com to find out more information. That's hareseloonfranchise.com.

Also, a quick reminder that I will answer reader emails in this episode, so make sure you stick around for the entire podcast. Finally, I want to

remind you to subscribe to this podcast if you haven't already and to please take two minutes to give us

your review. And if you have a question or comment, you'd like to share with our listeners, go to

Suzanne at the Suzanne Venker Show.

I'm your host, Suzanne Venker, and we are doing something new starting today.

Once a month, I am going to talk to you directly and not interview a guest.

And my sidekick for this new venture is Andre Parody, whom you've heard me interview in the past.

He's out in L.A. He is the founder of Project Equinox, and he has a wonderful podcast of his own called How the Culture Gets It Wrong.

And Andre and I are very like-minded.

And I thought he would make a super sidekick for this new venture I'm doing where I talk to you all about the issues of the day.

So say hello, Andre.

Good morning.

Good morning. And it's beautiful out there in L.A., right?

Yes. Early morning and the sun's coming up and it's going to be beautiful and warm and it already is.

But yeah, glorious, glorious Los Angeles Day. Awesome. Awesome. So I have a bunch of things to talk about.

You ready to kind of get on it?

Totally.
