Hi, this is Ava from Vanta.

In today's digital world, compliance regulations are changing constantly,

and earning customer trust has never mattered more.

Vanta helps companies get compliant fast and stay secure,

with the most advanced AI automation and continuous monitoring out there.

So whether you're a startup going for your first stock two or ISO-27,001,

or a growing enterprise managing vendor risk, Banta makes it quick, easy, and scalable,

and I'm not to say that because I work here. Get started today at banta.com.

River Butcher is a comedian, a writer, and like a lot of us, someone trying to figure out

how to keep going when the old ways stop working.

With the wealth that we have in this country, compared to smaller countries who take care of the people, we have so much, like, BS luxury, you know, and art has become a luxury. It's become commodified.

We talked about what happens when gratitude starts to replace fear and why comedy still matters,

even if you're not making a special every year.

I told myself for years, like, once you don't have dates, it's over. I don't have road dates.

And it's not looking like I will anytime soon. There's something

powerful in realizing your life is already okay, even if it's not the version you used to chase.

I mean, I've chased stand-up for all this time trying to find the one thing I can say so

that that's going to unlock everything. And the thing that unlocks everything is

being honest and just being me.

The creative

economy is broken, but some people

are still making it work. We're here
