Hey you guys, welcome back to the podcast. It has been a minute. I took a serious pause from

everything the last month. And honestly, it felt so damn good. I can't even tell you. I have never

in how long have I had my business, like almost 10 years, I think. I think it might be at my

10 year mark where I've never ever taken breaks like that like even just taken a
