Welcome, everyone to the Main Street Business Podcast with Mark Kohler and Matt Sorensen.

This is Open Forum Week.

At the time, we get to answer your questions, hopefully on tax legal topics, building wealth, protecting your assets.

I don't want to even want to talk about that. And let's just start hearing questions. And then we'll, you know, weave in some witty banter for some, we'll bomb some jokes. Either way, you can laugh at that, hopefully. Yeah. And I want to say thank you to all of you that are catching this show on a regular basis. We've got, I just went to a doctor this morning for a little checkup and he's like,

yeah,
