0:16.0	episode that I am so excited for which I know I always say but it's a really
0:20.4	special episode because it is someone who I didn't really grow up around, but I recently met in New York City and she's just so cool.
0:29.0	She is actually the co-founder of Capari, if guys know the brand they do a lot of
0:33.8	coconut-based beauty products lotions all those things but she's also a mom she's a
0:40.0	wife she has a family she has a ton friends, and so she just talks a lot in this episode about starting a business,
