0:03.8

Two sponsors.

0:05.4

We are literally growing by dozens of dollars a day.

0:09.5

Amazing.

0:10.2

This is fantastic.

0:11.7

And we should preface these sponsorship bits by saying that we only accept sponsors on the podcast

0:17.4

if they have a product that we really support, believe in, and or use if possible.
