Hey, Mel.

Hey.

Welcome to the Jennifer Allwood show.

This is my third episode, I think, in three weeks. I know. How do you feel about it? Do you want to take it over? Regular. I want to take it over? Oh, no. But as long as everyone's okay with it, I'm okay with it too. Oh, I think everybody's okay with it. I mean, we just got a recent survey back from our clients. it turns out they love Nell as much as, we'll say that, if not more than, which I'm, you know what? I told Jason, I'm like, that's great. It's awesome that my clients love you. See, look at her. If you're watching on YouTube, she's got a little. So thank you for taking care of the podcast twice while I was off

we're actually going to talk today about while I was off so I had run this idea by Nell that

you know Jason and I wanted to do a podcast episode just kind of giving an overview of the month

of July because it was my first sabbatical ever it's the first time I've stepped away for a month

and do you want to know it's weird now is, you know, I started my

painting company in Kansas City in the year 2000. And then I always joke like 10 minutes later. I was

pregnant with Noah. And so, yes, I took time off to like deliver him physically out of my body.

You know, I was in the hospital. But then, you know, like a week later, it was right back to

being on the phone with builders and faxing estimates. And, you know, I just took Noah a lot when he was a newborn in like a carry case. Because when you're self-employed, you kind of just have to keep working because if you don't work, you don't eat. So this was my first real break in 25 years.

Nice. Thank you. And I don't say that to be like a martyr, but thank you. It was really good, even though it was really bad. So Jason and I did the recap. If you have not listened to that, go listen to the last episode, if you want, just about Ava was in the hospital. Easton's car got stolen. I mean, it was just a month of, you know, stolen. Yeah, stolen. I use that in parentheses. The story, I still, like, I am so hopeful that somebody's going to listen to an episode. It'd be like, oh, that's my Aunt Louise that actually drove his car on accident for a week while you all thought it was stolen. And so that's my hope. And that Aunt Louise is going to be like, yo, I am so sorry that that happened. And may I send your son a wedding gift? And I'm going to be like, yes, yes, you may. Just because of the stress you caused, Louise. I don't even know why I picked Louise as a name. Anyhow. So then that was like the personal edition on that podcast episode. This is like the work

edition. I thought it would be really good for us to do a chit chat in case somebody's listening

today that's like, okay, from a business perspective, like how did everything go? Was it messy? Were you
