Welcome into the House of L podcast. I am your host Lawrence Homes and I am excited

about this week's episode. I say that every week, right? It's one of my verbal crutches, but it's the truth. I'm really

excited about this episode. In fact, I'm not going to waste a lot of time getting to her because it went on a lot longer than both I and Kelly Kroll expected it to go on.

As well as things where we were just talking and we just kept recording and we went to a lot of different directions.

I want to thank our sponsor, Meli Cafe, three locations for Meli Cafe.

Check out Jackson and Halstead.

In Greektown, you can go to Congress in Dearborn

right by the DePaul Center and the University Center,

which is great.

Or Grandin Wells, that one you can go check out as well. So there's a lot that you can do.

And you should check out what they do on social. If you're saying, okay, well, obviously, Lawrence, they're your advertiser,

you're going to say nice things about them. You're right.

But go check it out for yourself. Go to Meli Cafe Chicago on Instagram.

Just look and tell me that you don't like it. Tell me that it's not interesting.

Tell me that you're not thinking about going there and having a delicious meal.

For being on the show today,

Kelly Kroll is going to get a $50 gift card to Melli Cafe, which I conveniently

forgot when she came in to record the podcast.

So I apologize to Kelly. She will get it soon though. I promise you that I I really like

Kelly like since she's come to town like we have mutual friends in the business. I mean obviously we've become friends but we have we have a mutual friendship with Laura Britt who I did a show with and they actually remind me a lot of each other which is probably why I get along so well with

Kelly. They're both very good people and I enjoy being around them both. The conversation with

Kelly went in a lot of different directions
