0:06.4	bringing you today's episode? That's right. It's black, rifle, coffee. Now, a few things that are
0:12.5	key and timely. If you go to blackriflecoffee.com right now, they have a rotating banner up top.
0:18.6	The first thing that I want to highlight is they are putting on a 2023 women's warrior retreat.

0:29.2	Also up there, you're going to find a huge selection of mugs that they currently have 30% off.
0:34.8	They're selling the fools gold coffee still. I'm actually recording this before St. Patrick's Day,
