Hi, welcome back. You're listening to Let It Out, a show I've been hosting since early 2013, one of my favorite things I've ever done.

No, remind me. You said, I like to get flowers and chocolate all days of the year. Oh, yeah. That's true. Yeah. It's not only February 14th, that's good for love, but. Exactly. Yeah. And chocolate and flowers.

I want to tell you guys how this episode came to be, which is that the magazine, the

fullest, where I write my monthly column, asked me to interview previous podcast guest and
