0:00.0	Welcome to de novo to another episode of Startups for the rest of
0:04.8	nosotros.
0:05.9	So I'm your anfitrión, Rob Walling.
0:08.5	And in this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Sherry Walling, where we have a great conversation.
0:14.7	It's kind of fun.
0:15.3	If we move from the best uses of the internet, we tell a couple of recent stories that, you know,
0:22.7	have more relevance to us as humans than we talk about Sherry's recent circus show and her desire to do that. It's as

0:34.7	energy it takes to put that on. I ask her why she does it. And I think
