Hey, Power at the Nation. I have another rad podcast in store for you today with my boy DMAQ, Darren

And we dive in on not only what he does, but some of the things that I've encountered.

Hopefully I gave him enough, but it was funny at one point we kind of switched around and

he started interviewing me and I was interviewing him.

Excellent podcast and somebody that I'm excited to pull into our ecosystem and into our genealogy.

I was hoping he had a book to push because I wanted to read more,
