0:19.6	happy to be here with you today. Happy President's Day. You may be off work or out of school today,
0:24.3	and I'm so glad you've chosen to join us. We get to be a part of your day. We've got a great show
0:29.2	in store. My first question for you today is how are you observing, President's Day? And my second
0:34.6	question is, have you gotten your tickets to the Hear For You tour with me and my pal Carlos
0:39.2	Whitaker. We're hitting 12 cities in June. We want your shine and face to be among the ones we get
0:44.5	to see while we're out there. Gather up your friends, plan that road trip if needed. Decide who's
0:49.0	bringing the snacks and who's making the playlist and pop over to HearForYouTour.com and snag your
0:54.5	tickets. Those pre-party and post-party or the combo tickets are the cherry on top. You all come
1:00.2	hang with us. Again, that's HearForYouTour.com, which we obviously put in the show notes for your
1:05.4	convenience. And before we dive into today's conversation, I want to share about one of our amazing
1:09.8	sponsors, BetterHelp. When you're at your best, you can conquer the world, right? But sometimes life
1:14.8	gets you bogged down. You may feel overwhelmed or like you're not shown up in the way that you want to.
1:19.9	Working with the therapist can really help you get closer to the best version of yourself,
1:23.6	because when you're feeling centered and empowered, you're more prepared to take on everything that
1:27.7	life throws at you and height. Life is throwing things at you. Me too. I'm super grateful for my
1:32.5	counselor and the invaluable help she provided over the years that I've been seeing her. If you're
1:36.9	thinking of giving therapy a try, BetterHelp is a great option. It's convenient and flexible,
1:41.2	affordable, entirely online. You just thought a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed
1:45.5	therapist. And you can switch therapists anytime for no additional charge. If you want to live a
1:49.6	more empowered life therapy, you can get you there. Visit BetterHelp.com slash That Sounds Fun
