Hi, I'm Bill Kennedy with the Arden podcast, and today our very special guest is Matt Ryer, all the way from England, right, Matt?

0:19.5

You're living in London?

0:20.5

That's right. Nice. Yeah.

0:22.6

Nice to be here. Thanks for having me.

0:24.6

Thank you for accepting our invitation. I'm so excited to talk to you. And we've met before and we've talked a little bit.

0:33.6

But I don't think we've ever really talked about how you got into the industry

0:38.9

and kind of where you are today. And I have to imagine it's going to be a fun hour. So

0:45.1

what I like our guests to kind of start off with because we try to create a timeline is to

0:52.8

take two minutes and give everybody a sense of like where

Like you can just make any little program and get information in your Mac menu bar.

2:09.2

2:12.9

which I, it's kind of like a dead language a little bit now.

2:16.6
