0:00.0 | Hello, hello, my friends. Welcome to the podcast. I am so excited about today's topic because we have a |
0:10.3 | special guest to talk about probably my favorite topic other than style. And that is the art of |
0:16.9 | reinvention. So I don't know if you all know this, but one of the things that we do within |
