| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to another episode of State of the Nation. |
| 0:17.5 | This is the episode where we do a deep dive on the topic of the week. |
| 0:21.2 | We apply it to the lessons we learn in the podcast and on the newsletter. |
| 0:25.0 | David, I'm super excited about this episode. |
| 0:27.9 | We've wanted to get the folks from index co-op on for a while. |
| 0:31.4 | Now we have the team. |
| 0:32.4 | We're talking about a new product release. |
