And this is Orlando and we're on episode 484 an update episode.

Plus, we also get to go over the current events, the news, the topics of the day in the reselling world,

0:35.8

because things are always changing, whether it's

I don't know about other administrators, but I work crazy. And, you know, I'm just, I'm just excited about like, I've been able to take care of some things, you know, I'm still helping my son in college.
