Hi, James. Ben, how are you? I'm good. You declined to open the podcast. I was just sitting here

in silence waiting for you. No, that was that, I think that might have been a one-time thing,

or at the very least, folks might have to wait for another 100 episodes or 99 episodes now

before that, that event recurs, I'm afraid. Look you're doing math on the fly i know i know

well given i just flew 14 hours across the pacific ocean actually that much that much math on the fly

i'm impressed i can do so so in the opposite of like drinking coffee and waking up in the middle

the podcast you might fall asleep in the middle of the podcast podcast. Yeah, if you hear a clunk and then

snoring, that's not someone sitting in the back seat. That's not, that's not commentary on my

rambling. It's more likely to be commentary on mine, but no, it's not commentary on your rambling,

not at all. Well, we are sponsored as we are every episode by MailChimp.

MailChimp offers automation.

You can let your marketing get back to work.

With Melchimp, you get enterprise level automation without any of the headaches.

You can send an onboarding message to introduce new subscribers to your business or organization.

You can automatically fall up with customers after purchase and recommend other products

that they'll love. Surprise your best customers with a coupon triggered by their

shopping behavior. Remind customers of the products they left their cart and encourage them to

complete their transaction. Reengage inactive subscribers. There's all sorts of interesting tools you can

do with MailChimp for your business. I am a Melchimp customer at Straitory. That's why I'm happy to have them

as a sponsor for this podcast and our thanks to them for sponsoring exponents.

Yeah, it's a useful feature if you are on a flight across the Pacific Ocean and want to get

in touch with your customers. You don't have to do a thing. They do it all for you.
