I won't tell you that it's gonna be okay.

I won't tell you that it's going to be okay.

And welcome to another episode of McCarty Sales Podcast.

Today we have a friend of the show.

We call her that because she's been on a lot and we want her on even more. And she's one of my dear friends.

She's one of the sweetest people I know.

I don't know if everybody would say that about it,

but I definitely do.

None other than Aaron Haynes, how are you?

I'm great.

I'll be sure to cash up you for those kind words. Thank you friend.

Two or three bucks. I'm about to go eat lunch when I get done with this so that'd be very helpful.

You know, we start our show the same way by having our guests walkers through the arc of their career, but you're a you're a friend of the show so we'll get right into it. I want to highlight the work you're doing at the 19th. For listeners who may not be following the 19th, but will after this show, can you talk about what stories are that you cover these days and what distinguishes the 19th from other political news stories,

say like the messenger or politically.

Does political even exist anymore or bus fee?

Politico does still exist per the newsletters

that I get in my inbox. So yeah, the 19th, we are. the journalism was too white and two male and we thought we would try to do something about that.

So, you know, we have a really diverse newsroom racially in terms of gender.

So many folks got a shout out on the first day of Pride month from the LGBTQ community also represented in our newsroom and also in our coverage. So, you know, we really what we stand for is just politics that is for people who have previously been unseen and unheard for too long in our democracy.

And so that is what the 19th is about.

Obviously we're named for the 19th amendment in case people didn't know that.

Yeah, but with an asterisk in our logo for the black women who were thrown under the bus when white women stepped over us on their way to getting their access to the franchise.
