Hi friends, welcome to the Lobby-Sobby podcast. This is episode number 133. So sorry, last week was the Today Show,

I'm not attached to anybody with wealth. I've had to start scrappy and be on my own. And I actually

moved to Greenpoint to downsize once again. So this is actually going to be the second time I've

downsized in the last three years.
