| 0:00.0 | before starting the podcast, I didn't have a body of work, as I was talking about how I worked in |
| 0:04.5 | finance and I had good jobs, so to speak, but I didn't have anything that had my name on it, |
| 0:13.7 | or was anything that I could show anybody. And I think now just even the unit or the size of |
| 0:26.7 | the body of work can be a lot smaller. I mean, you don't have to have, you know, 200 episodes |
| 0:30.8 | like me, but or a thousand episodes plus like you. But I think like a small blog post of just like, |
| 0:37.1 | you know, here's the scope of the project or here's the scope of my role or here's, |
| 0:40.9 | here's where I got stuck or things like that. Like really showcases how you think and how you adapted |

| 1:35.3 | for the time. It is my pleasure to have you here. So I found out about your work by way of one of our |
| 1:40.8 | former guests, April Ran, who is one of my favorite people that I've ever spoken to on this show. |
| 1:46.3 | And she referenced you in something about, you know, portfolio careers. And as somebody who |
| 1:53.8 | hasn't had a real job for 13 years and got fired from every real job I've ever had, naturally, |
| 1:59.1 | this was of tremendous interest to me. And I think really, really relevant to everybody |
| 2:04.8 | listening. But before we get into that, I want to start asking you, what did your parents do for |
