Hey everybody I have some great news for you. This is, you might usually skip the intro. You definitely want to, going to want to hear this one, some major updates, one that will directly an action that you will need to take to take advantage of it.

The other, just an amazing bonus that you're going to naturally get going forward.

So first and foremost I am going to be wrapping up doing ads on the show. I have some contracts and stuff with the

lovely sponsors that I have had supporting the show but I you know when I first

started the podcast six and a half years ago or whatever I was really committed to never having ads on it and then I kind of got talked into experimenting with it and liked it and was more open-minded about the idea and have enjoyed all of the support and things change and now

there's lots more opportunities with things like

Patreon which for example I just started doing a board game night on my

Patreon I'm doing the first one coming up this week and I'm going to do more of that and there's just a lot more going to be adding like a tip button basically on YouTube and a few other things like that to make it easier for you guys to express your generosity and support me directly and and I just have more control over and

if you're like but I I really like hearing all of the ads. Well, unfortunately we're no longer going to be

things like that partnerships with with things that I really believe in and less just selling ads and having

a no more breaks in the show and and whatnot So really looking forward to that. I hope you are as well. Number two.

This is, I'm so excited, I'm not going to spoil too much just yet because we don't know exactly
