0:00.0	Hello, my dear for the LovePodCalf community. We're popping in at a special time this week
0:10.2	to let you in on a very cool project. I've got to be a part of this year and I really
0:17.8	want you to be a part of it too. So, you may have heard of this little organization
0:23.7	the Gates Foundation. It's out there doing monumental work and having a deep and profound
0:31.6	impact on this world. Ever since we had Melinda Gates on the show a few years ago,
0:36.3	I've really been paying attention to some of the incredible things this organization and their
0:41.5	partners are doing all over the world. And they're excited to share stories about some of those
0:48.6	world-changing initiatives and most importantly, the innovators behind them. I was just
0:56.4	honored, honestly, when they asked me to serve as the host for a brand new podcast series they're
1:02.0	producing called Make Me Care About. You guys, they rounded up the most interesting people to

1:23.2	why the thing we're talking about matters way more than we realize it it does for most of us,
1:28.5	like how our sanitation systems work, why they are in danger of being outdated, which could
1:33.9	wreak all kinds of havoc on our public health, and how these experts are working on solutions
1:39.5	that can and will radically change the configurations of our indoor plumbing solutions over
1:45.4	the next few decades. And that's just one example. Pupids not the only thing we'll be asking you
1:50.9	to care about. We're getting the skinny on stuff like syringes, yes they matter. Iodized salt
1:58.6	totally learned so much on that one. Malaria, college, digital money, so much more. I can't even
2:05.2	begin to tell you how much I learned by being a part of these conversations. It was fun and
2:10.3	fascinating. And I knew I had to share these episodes with our community here of course.
2:15.2	So we are going to be airing several of these over the coming few weeks as a little extra bonus
