I'm gonna record the rest of this episode later

but I just have to capture this moment for you guys. I just left lunch with a friend

and I'm buzzing. I feel so good. I feel so

Just fulfilled and

Connected and every good thing and capable and confident and like this is great I feel

Amazing and I want to expand on this more in our regular setting, which is me and my PJs, with me at my lab, but I just

felt the need to capture at this moment for context so you guys can hear it in real time and now hopefully the

sound will be better for the rest of the episode as I expand on it. That's all. all. All right, so for context, I recorded that intro on Tuesday. It is now Thursday.

I've had 48 hours to process that that lunch with my friend and it is no less fulfilling, meaningful, wonderful

than it was then.

I still just feel so excited and giddy about everything that was.

I really want to talk about authentic connection because that's something that I don't think there is enough of.

I think it's a hard thing to come by.

Maybe is that a reach? Is that me trying to like shoehorned into the

premise of this podcast? I'm like hard feelings. Well it's hard to come by, maybe

this will fit. Anyway, I met this friend, this is a new friend.

I first met this friend a year ago through a different friend,

an author friend who had said,

I want you to meet a couple author friends of mine,

we can have like a cute little author dinner.
