| 0:00.0 | What time is it? Showtime. Live from Seattle, Washington, the side hustle book is out today. |
| 0:12.6 | Naturally, I'm pretty excited about that. And I know a lot of our listeners are too. I've |
| 0:17.0 | been getting some nice notes from people saying how much they're looking forward to it. |
| 0:19.9 | Well, now you don't have to look forward to it. You can go and get it. If you did not get |
| 0:23.8 | a chance to pre-order the book, you can actually just go and order it now. Ask for it at your |
| 0:27.7 | local bookstore or order from your favorite online retailer. And it would be super awesome |

| 1:20.7 | It's a cooperative that belongs to all Aala farmers. So they care about doing things |
| 1:26.0 | right. They care about their girls, their land, and everything they put on the table. |
| 1:31.9 | Like your favorite Aala Cravendale, Aala Proutie, Aala Lacto Free, and Aala Skiha. Why |
| 1:37.2 | would they do things any other way? Aala owned by farmers. |
