0:00.0	Because of this podcast, Julian and Dalton, I got picked up by that Speakers Bureau in London.
0:15.0	Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:16.0	Right?
0:17.0	So that went well until Meta just decided they didn't like me.
0:24.6	And so everything was canceled.
0:26.6	I gave 15 speeches.
0:27.6	Yeah, we were, we were advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
