0:00.0	You are experiencing the next episode of Startups for the Rest of Us.
0:03.7	Today, I talk with co-host Emeritus Mike Tabor. He co-hosted this show with me for the first
0:09.0	448 episodes. And now he comes on periodically to update us on his progress with his own
0:15.7	startup, bluetick.io. Mike hasn't been on the show for almost seven months because he's had some things
0:22.6	cooking in the background that he wasn't able to talk about. But the good news is Mike's back
0:27.9	on the show today and he and I have a conversation about what he's been up to over the past
0:31.7	seven months and things he's thinking about with his startup blue tick as well as a reveal of what has been going on. He isn't

1:12.7	Mike Tabor, thanks for coming back on the show, man.
1:14.0	Oh, thanks for having me. How are you doing today?
1:15.7	You know, I'm doing okay. I'm out here in California. I don't think I've mentioned it on the show,
1:19.5	actually, but we decided to take advantage of distance learning for the kids. And really, since
1:25.7	our kids have been in school, this is the first time during a school year we could essentially travel, you know, or live somewhere else temporarily.
1:32.8	So most folks know I'm located in Minneapolis, which is just a lovely city. We've been there four
