Welcome back, y'all, to another episode of Vibein and Kind of Thriven.

Today we've got a little bit of a different episode for y'all.

It's going to be a little bit of me for a bit.

I was talking to V a little bit earlier today. She couldn't join us for this episode.

She's got some stuff going on with VeeV. Everything's okay. We'll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week. But we were on the phone, yapping as we usually do.
