| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, real quick. So Layland, I are definitely working on our social media presence if you guys haven't noticed and we're just breaking now into linked in. |
| 0:06.4 | Alright, it's not as bad as I thought. |
| 0:08.1 | It's actually been pretty awesome so far and you guys have been really cool in there and people are sharing our stuff a lot. |
| 0:12.2 | So if we aren't connected on LinkedIn, go ahead and let's connect and let's rock and roll. |
| 0:17.3 | Hey, what's going on everyone? Are you guys having a sexy Saturday? |
| 0:23.8 | Anyways, so it is 6.22 a.m. on Saturday here in Austin and |
| 0:29.5 | I know it's I feel like the content inspiration this waxing wane and I |
| 0:33.7 | but like a couple weeks have not really make anything and then probably like four pieces in the last two days. So |
