0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Andy here. Welcome to your move where we help you make better |
0:04.4 | decisions and live with fewer regrets. It's a non-profit organization we rely |
0:08.9 | on the generosity of our listeners, so if you have been positively impacted by |
0:13.1 | this podcast, would you consider supporting your move with a tax-deductible |
0:17.5 | donation? To give, just visit your move.is slash give, that's your move.is |
0:24.6 | forward slash give, thanks for considering, and now back to the show. Most folks, |
