| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Emily Abadi here coming to you, not from the AG studio, I'm actually |
| 0:29.3 | sitting in what may be the most comfortable hotel. I'm at a ranch, I'm at a ranch in Moab, Utah, |
| 0:38.2 | while I am recording this. And this may be the most comfortable bed next to my bed in Brooklyn, |
| 0:46.2 | like so comfortable that every morning when I get up to grab my journal and grab my coffee, |
| 0:51.6 | I have looked forward to getting back into bed. I also think of this as something to do with the fact |
| 0:57.6 | that I'm sitting here staring at a TV that's on mute while I record this and I don't have a TV |
| 1:03.2 | in my bedroom back at home. So it just feels all sorts of cozy. I digress. Like I said, I'm out in Utah, |
| 1:12.0 | I'm in Moab, I've been here since Tuesday. This whole month I am in and out of Brooklyn, |
| 1:19.2 | like crazy. I was in LA, then I came here to Utah next week. I'm going to be in Boston for the full |

| 1:44.0 | I have to publish this. I'm waiting on one right now, but one's going to be on Thursday night and |
| 1:49.0 | one's going to be on Saturday night. Okay, now done with the housekeeping. I mentioned, I'm here in Moab, |
| 1:55.4 | then I go to Boston, then I go to Portland for work. And lastly, I go to Germany for work. |
| 2:02.7 | It is a lot of in and out. And I did something yesterday that I was really proud of. I was speaking |
| 2:10.6 | to my dad on the phone. We were talking about all of this travel. And he asked me since I'm going |
| 2:17.1 | to be out of town for Easter next weekend. My dad's Catholic. He asked me if I wanted to do lunch |
| 2:23.0 | or something over the weekend. And my immediate reaction was I would love to see you, but I can only |
| 2:28.9 | see you if you want to come to Brooklyn. And sometimes I hear myself say things. And I think of |
| 2:37.1 | Emily now versus old Emily. And something that really I struggled with when I was traveling a |
| 2:44.4 | lot pre pandemic is that I didn't know how to say no. What I mean by that is I would want to do |
