Now, here's your host, Eric Squarsinski. Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Preacher Boys

podcast. I'm so glad to be here with you today on this episode. And joining me is my good friend,

Michael Big Neely. He is a moderator within the Preacher Boys official discussion group,

and he's just been a really good friend throughout the last couple of years. I've been doing the

Preacher Boys podcast and Associated Platforms for about three years now, and it's not always been

easy. In fact, it's been quite the opposite. And Michael has always been a great encouragement. He's

always checked in and just been a really great friend throughout all of that time. And today we're

just kind of having a

discussion about how Preacher Boys has evolved, you know, the difficulties that I've had in

running Preacher Boys, some of the things that are just weighing heavy over the last couple

years. And just kind of giving an update just toward, you know, the goals of the platform, the goals of Preacher

boys, my personal goals with it, and just really some of the things that have hurt over the last

couple years as, you know, I've seen things misinterpreted or, you know, talked about in a negative

way. And so I wanted to just kind of do this episode to kind of,

one, just get back in front of you, get to share a little bit more with you and reengage with

all of the people who've been so supportive of Preacher Boys of the last three years.
