Hello and welcome to episode 180 of the official establish the run dot com podcast.

My name is Adam Levittan.

I'm one of the co-founders here at ETR I am the father of the most beautiful beast in the

world Jerry and we are entering the summer of love portion of the offseason.

Yes that's right within the next month everyone in our country is expected to have access

to the covid vaccine temperatures are rising outside people are ready to get out there

start yawking get on the hashtag team etc etc freedom is back baby before all that though

I wanted to do a rare offseason solo pod you know I mentioned during the season that

I wanted to keep these solos up from time to time I mean I just enjoy it so much and

I know you guys have pressing slash disturbing slash perverted slash thoughtful questions

that you need answered so normally of course you know if we were in season I'd discuss

the slate I would you know self-loathe over mistakes I would use hindsight analysis to

punish myself to no end but without a slate to discuss I think the best play here is

to simply see what's on your mind and immediately jump into everyone's favorite portion of

the program to listen to questions so producer Luke hit the theme music okay thank you for

all the questions appreciated as always going to do nine of them today question one comes

from Roberto he says what is the process for getting a guest on the podcast to people

get paid for coming on or is it more about getting exposure to different audiences if

paid how does someone determine their price yeah so I'm happy to pull back the curtain

here a bit first of all no no one gets paid to come on the podcast never I think there's

typically like some mutually beneficial thing happening here you know like a pretty easy

to see win-win we get to pick the brain of someone that we think is really smart someone
