0:10.1	This past seven years, one constant has been a podcast.
0:15.3	This listener, Daniel, from Colorado, has been listening since we launched in 2014.
0:22.9	He's written into our inbox along the way to talk about grief, therapy, a breakup, and masculinity. I just wanted to say thank you
0:30.3	again for pushing hard conversations. Discovering death sex and money helped me a lot.
0:45.3	Death sex and money is not just a podcast. It's a community of listeners who share and learn from each other. We hope that this show has helped you make choices, understand people better, and have those important conversations in your life.
0:53.3	And if death, sex, and money has been
0:55.6	helpful to you, and you have the resources available, I'm asking you to please make a financial

1:39.7	Now, I realize that's more than the book costs at a bookstore, but if you get your copy this way, you'll also be supporting the work of our entire team and the future of this show.
1:50.5	And if you became a member this spring and already have your copy of the book, look out for an invite coming your way soon.
