| 0:00.0 | I have a great show to share with you today. I'm excited to finally share it. We had this chat, |
| 0:06.8 | Jeff Johnson and I had this chat a few weeks ago, and I've been eager to get it out there. |
| 0:13.0 | But first, I have a couple of new partnerships that I'm equally excited to share with you. |
| 0:17.5 | They've been in the works for longer, in fact, than this Jeff Johnson episode. |
| 0:21.8 | If you can hear roost, I'm in Mexico, so there's roosters in the background occasionally. |
| 0:26.5 | So you might hear that. But anyways, there it is right there, right on cue. |
| 0:33.5 | Anyways, firstly, Rourke. If you've listened to the Ryan Hitzel episode from a few weeks back, |

| 1:32.8 | after hearing Jeff Johnson today. Our promo code is Splendor 15. Do it all on Rourke.com. Splendor 15 will save |
