Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello, my name is Matthew West and I'm the host of this podcast. It's called the Matthew West podcast.

I really hope you like it. Hello.

Well, what's up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Matthew West podcast. I'm your host, Matthew West. And as always, I really hope you like it.

Man, I can't believe it. I still can't believe we're in 2022. Feels weird to say. But before we know it, this year's going to be flying by just like it always does. Time goes so fast. And so I want to thank you for slowing down your day a little bit to hang with me. Whatever you're doing today, thanks for letting me join you on this. And you are in for a treat. And speaking of treats, my guest today, well, when I think about her name, I think about shopping malls.

But not just shopping malls, the smell that I smell when I walk in most any shopping mall. There's two predominant sense that make me hungry. All right. At the average shopping mall number one is cinnamon. And number two is that sweet and salty pretzel. That's brought to you by none other than the great anti-an.

That's who my guest is today. She founded anti and pretzels. And she has a powerful testimony to tell. I got to be honest. I thought maybe we'll talk about pretzels the whole time. But when we dug into this conversation, she put her heart on her sleeve and she shared her testimony in a powerful way. And it rocked my world. And I think it's going to really touch your heart today.

So try not to get too hungry thinking about her delicious pretzels. And come on. Let's get focused, guys. Let's go to the story house with my new friend, a very special lady, anti and byler.

Hi, Ann. Hi, Matthew. Thanks. I'm so glad you have extra time. I was telling Jimmy I'm texting technologically challenge for sure.

I was really stuck on that one. So gentry my my manager. He always gets me out of my jams. So well, I would wait for you any time. I will give you one extra pretzel. How about that? You will.

I'll send you one coupon. How's that?

Well, can I just tell you that thinking about the fact that I was going to be interviewing you today, I've been craving pretzels leading up to this interview. I've been so hungry. And it's all your fault. I'm trying to be disciplined. And it's just such a challenge.

I hate when that happened. You know, I guess the next big technology breakthrough would be is if I could actually send you a pretzel, you know, like right now.

That would be, oh, now that's the future. Hey, maybe that's your next great idea and enterprise. I mean, I'm talking to somebody today who's been who's been known to take an idea from inception to worldwide notoriety.

And you've you've accomplished so many great things in your life. So I wouldn't put it past you to find a way to virtually deliver me a hot buttery pretzel.

You're underestimating my technological skills. I can promise you that right now. I can bake anything. But.

Right at the beginning of the new year, people are making new years resolutions to eat healthy. And yet here I am. I'm going to be tempting our listeners today just by the fact that I'm going to be speaking with the creator of.

Now, do I say auntie?

I mean, you can do whatever auntie and is the proper name, but people do auntie and if they want.

I think like my dad, yeah, like my dad had relatives from like Rhode Island. And they would say auntie and I was like, auntie, what's auntie and so auntie and do I need to refer to you as auntie and or can I just call you and today?

You can't call me and byler auntie and and but whatever suit your fancy. I will answer to anything that you call me.

Well, and it is so great to have you on my podcast and you and I got to our paths got to cross not long ago in 2021.
