What's going on, everyone on, everyone, Emily Abadi here. You are listening to another episode of Five Minute Friday from Hurtall. This has been one of those weeks that was nonstop. It was early mornings and late nights. It was trying to make time to fit everything in. It was

checking in on my people. I had the honor of hosting a dinner earlier this week. I did it with

the help of the team at On who helped me cover the cost. I invited a woman in the industry,

joy that I felt in this room, there were also so many conversations of struggle

And let me tell you, since then, every single person that I talk to, something heavy is going on.
