Hello, Sethman, can you hear me?

I can hear you just fine, how you doing?

Um, fine, how are you, Stepan?

I am well, I am well.

Nothing but good news these days, no complaints at all.

All right, but on to you, my friend.

How could I best help?

Well, in thinking about talking to you, I've been just kind of self-reflecting on some of the things I wanted to talk to you about and I've

realized that at the root of it as I imagine you can expect it is my childhood.

So I guess first I wanted to say thank you

for everything you've done for me, my family.

You've been such a beacon of life in my life.

Ways you can't imagine, you know know through self-knowledge and through just

having standards in your relationship and I only wish I found you when I was younger. Well, I appreciate that.

I don't want to blow past that compliment.

That's very kind and thank you.

Thank you so much.

So, shall we dive into the childhood?

Yes, we shall.

Where would you like to meet it again right at the start? I suppose.

See, I don't know how to describe your childhood, but wherever you want to start, I'm fine with.

It was an awful childhood.
