Hey everybody, it's Chris here. I'm sitting pretty much alone on this yacht owned by a friend

0:12.6

of mine. We're docked in La Paz, which is, if you look at the Sea of Cortez, it's on the

0:20.8

left-hand side. We're docked, everybody went into town to provision the boat and wander around, see

0:30.8

what's going on in town. So I've got some quiet time here. I'm sitting in the living room. This

0:36.4

morning we went out swimming with whale sharks if you can believe that. I will post at least a

0:45.2

couple of photos to my Instagram account and I'll try to maybe get a video up on my web page. It's

0:55.3

not really easy to upload things from the boat. We've got satellite connectivity, but yeah, the

1:04.5

upload speed's not real good. So we'll see if I can find a cafe or something. I think we're spending

1:50.8

Let's just rock right through. Since I'm going to start uploading more frequently because I want

1:57.0

to burn through this backlog. I've got this is this is an amazing conversation with the friend of

2:03.6

mine named Chris James. You will know Chris well by the by the end of this. You'll hear some very

2:11.2

powerful and personal stories from his life. He was extremely candid and open in giving this

2:19.5

interview or having this conversation. He's as you'll hear, he's an extremely interesting guy.

2:26.8

But before we get to that, let's just run through some mail. Josh Holt invited me to come hang out

2:32.0

with him in Minnesota. I don't think so, Josh, but thanks for the invitation. Maybe when things warm
