Hello, friends. Welcome to episode 172 of the Latter-day Lives podcast. I'm your host, Sean Rupier.

Thank you so much for checking in with us again this week. We've got such an amazing guest for you. But before we

get into the episode, I need to thank some very special people. If you listened to last week,

you know that I asked for some help. It's the first time in really the history of the show

that I reached out to the audience looking for real help,

and that is that this show is a lot of work. It's a lot to put together, finding the guests,

and lining up the times, and doing the recording and the mixing, releasing it and all the

social media, and it's something I love doing and have done now. This is, again, episode 172. Next month is actually our four-year

anniversary, which is just incredible to me. But I asked if anybody might be interested in helping

produce the show, as well as I asked if anyone would be willing to be our social media manager.

And I wasn't sure about asking that.

I thought, who is actually going to sign up to do this thankless task? You know, there's no money in it.

We don't make any money on the show. We do this out of love. And I just thought, well, maybe no one will

answer, but hey, at least I put it out there. And very quickly, I got many

responses, seven or eight for each position of people so beautiful, so willing to help out. And

some saying, hey, I have a background in this, and others saying, I have no idea how to do it,

but I'm here to help.

Thank you so much.
