Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. I'm your host Greg Knuckles and I think after

a hundred and forty three episodes this is actually my first time hosting solo.

So we'll see how that goes.

Before we get into the episode for today, I do have a bit of an announcement up top,

and that is that the next episode of the podcast, so not this one, but next one will be our

last episode for the foreseeable future and you know that may feel like lot, so I do feel like I owe you a bit of an explanation as to why.

So just to rewind a bit, going back to the start of the podcast. The main reason we started the

podcast in the first place was to introduce Eric Trexler to the audience back in 2019. The reason for that is that Stronger by science had

always

Well, it hadn't actually just been me, but I was kind of the, the, in the public eye type of person for the business.

I've always worked with my wife, Lindsay.

But yeah, I was was I was the sole public facing person up until that

point and so I didn't want it to come across like Eric was just a guy who we hired and was

working for us in kind of like a subordinate way when we were truly partners.

That's you know that's the the role we brought him in as. And so

podcasting is a good way to get people's personalities out there and to build a

connection with people. And so we thought that that would be a good way

both to introduce them to you guys and also just to communicate and show that we were on equal footing there.

So starting a podcast seemed like a logical thing to do.

But if I'm just personally being totally honest, I have never particularly enjoyed

podcasting. It was it was just not something I was ever that interested in doing long term.

And the main reason for that is just I have much more of an affinity for writing.
