Hey now, this is the free teaser thing where I try to get you to subscribe to my podcast and actually pay some money.

But if you don't have any money or you just, for other reasons, it doesn't work for you.

You live in Iran. You don't have credit cards.

You got too much other shit going on and you just don't want to deal with it.

I don't care.

Whatever it is, you can still listen.

All you got to do is contact me, say, hey, I want to listen, but I'm not in the, at the

That's fine.

That Chris Ryan at gmail.com.

What I need is, all I need is you need to sign up on substack, chrisryan.

Dot substack.com.

You go there, you sign up for free, and you let me know what email

used to sign up, and then I comp you for the one-year free subscription, which I've done for

hundreds of people already. Happy to do it for you. If you can't afford it, please consider supporting the podcast so that

Some recent health issues I've had prepping our trip to Montana.

A couple of spots that just opened up for the retreat in Montana for women.
