She told me pre interview that she was accomplishing a lifelong goal of being a gas so I'm really excited to be able to be here while she's accomplishing this goal and Stephanie say hello to fire nation and then kind of just take us through the story of how you first heard about clay Clark and his business growth coaching.

The time I ever heard of who Clay Clark was and it was a podcast episode about SEO and website optimization and so that's how I heard about him I ordered his SEO book and we were off to the race from there.

I basically wanted to look at my website see how I can optimize it and I had absolutely no interest in business coaching whatsoever as he could probably tell by my call with him was not interested at all I was like I don't need business coaching I only cry like seven times a week there's no need to have business coaching.

But obviously there was room for improvement and so that was in March of 2020 we started working together and here we are now.

Well off to the races I think it's a little bit of an understatement because you won the Kentucky Derby I mean 1,462% growth and I love that visual that you gave us of cleaning a bathroom because I know that I chuckled and I know that a lot of people in fire nation of chuckle because we've all listened to podcasts
