0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.3	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met It Acme. I'm super excited to have the CEO of solid core and
0:12.9	Malam on the show today. And by the way, if you're anywhere, you know, celebrating the holidays,
0:19.3	I hope everything's going well. I hope there's no fights with your family. You know how it goes.
0:24.3	But if that is happening, you can always go to patreon.com slash We Met It Acme and send me a direct
0:30.5	message and we can commiserate together. But I wanted to start and episode with a little bit of a
0:36.0	solo as usual. There were some questions that you had asked me. So I'll go over them just briefly.

1:42.0	anxiety and where that comes from. Maybe it was something from the past. Maybe you had a bad

2:09.7	easy and it's okay to be sad and it's okay to feel those feelings and really, you know,
