Hey leaders, before we jump into today's show, a really heartfelt thank you.

So I interact with a lot of the guests on this podcast, not only when we do the show,

but otherwise. And this one piece of feedback I've heard is overwhelming.

I wanted to share it with you. I hear from guests after guests that you are the best audience.

And they keep telling me, I show up on all of these shows, some of the biggest shows in the world.

No audience responds the way your audience does carry. And I wanted to let you know that.

When you DM them, when you buy their books, when you encourage them, when you hit them up on

social media, when you share this show, they are noticing and they love being on this podcast.

And that's because of you. We've had books hit the best seller list because you responded.

We have had people get book deals, who are guests, because you responded. And you know what?

I just want to say thank you. I really believe I have the best audience in the world. That's you.

And I wanted to say thank you. And I want you to know our guests are noticing as well on this

podcast. So thank you for being that awesome audience. And now to today's episode.
