Hey folks, this is Kevin. Just a few words before we start. If you are new to the whole

risk podcast, this is a show where people tell true stories they never thought they dare

to share in public. We bring you true life stories, more raw, uncensored, emotional, hilarious,

and surprising, then you're likely to hear anywhere else. And although we have bitten

off quite a lot to chew, I mean we have an organization now that is doing things as big

as what this American life or the moth are doing. But unlike them, we have no money.

We are a completely independent operation. And I'm serious when I say we have no money.

We're out. We are running on empty. That's why so many of our wonderful friends who have

told amazing stories on the show, people like Mark Marin, Michael Schowalter, Margaret

Cho, Janine Garofalo, the Sklar brothers, Lisa Lampinelli, Rachel Drage, Kevin Neillin,

and more. They're offering wonderful prizes that you can't possibly get anywhere else

at our fundraising campaign at Indiegogo.com. The campaign is called Keep Risk Running.

There's a ton of prizes you can get directly from me like a Skype storytelling coaching

session. I'll record your outgoing phone message. If you're a state fan, I'll mail you

a taco, whatever you do. If you appreciate this courageous podcast that people are working

for for free as a labor of love, please help us just keep doing it, keep putting it out

there by going to Indiegogo.com and looking up Keep Risk Running. The actual URL is

Indiegogo.com slash Keep Dash Risk Dash Running. We really need it and we really do appreciate

it. Now here's the show.
