All right, happy Thursday morning, everybody. We are back. We are the guys who connect six, seven, and eight figure, location independent, lifestyle entrepreneurs. We did a lot of that in the past week.

So we're going to try to translate that into one tidy episode today.

And to do that, I brought along my co-host, the boss man.

Welcome to the podcast, Ian.

I mean, I think it's a little different for us, right? Go to like seven of these events a year. You know, a lot of our members go to one, sometimes maybe even three events a year, I think on the top end. And so it is a place where you can get energized.
