Hey, wonderful's welcome to episode 324 of the podcast with my lovely guest,

Sierra Payton. I feel sure you will enjoy this episode. It's fascinating. She's got some

amazing stories to tell and is an all around great person.

So I am confident in saying this episode is a winner.

I hope everyone's doing very well indeed. The only other thing I just wanted to

mention is that of course well if you're new to the podcast you may not know this

probably most of you do know that as I as we kind of all cascade into summer I will be once again

launching the Boys of Summer series where we will have special male gentleman

how many other ways can I say that, guests? And by the way, I'm sorry to be so

gender normative with everything as a long-time listener as the podcast now. I

certainly do not exclude those who identify either and neither as male or female.

So if you have people that you would like for me to speak with, that is something that I feel strongly about as well and enjoy very much talking to and meeting folks who have had maybe a less conventional experience growing up as some of us. So I welcome that. I

don't know if I could have said that more clunkily, but it is something that I have

thought about as I you know sort of look at the Boys of Summer of it all and as we continue to adapt and

improve as a species, y'all.

So I'm going to go ahead and shut myself down right now and later we'll think about how

awkward this entire intro was but for now please enjoy this episode with

Sierra. Goodbye. I am pleased and delighted to welcome you to my home.

It's a very good sign that you immediately pleased and So I'm delighted to welcome you to my home.

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Very good sign that you immediately took your shoes off and put a pillow in your lap.

That is my jam.
