Hi friends. Welcome to the Wabi-Sabi podcast. This is episode number one one zero. We're officially at

110. Here we go. Thank you for letting me take my break last week, my hands on my heart. I'm very

professionals who prepare for their best

work. So thank you for the time. I also didn't know if you guys noticed, but I cut the music out of the

podcast because I felt like it was really unnecessary and I was actually bleeding out of pocket

for an audio mixer to do that. And I can simply learn how to do it myself,

or I thought, why not just cut it out clean altogether? There are a lot of changes that have

happened for all of us over the past few weeks. I think I have learned since going back to New York and then working on my bi-coastal move right now,
