Hello and welcome to the WhoCollective Podcast. We talked about the MBA which we're doing

0:09.7

at. Anybody want to guess? Anybody want to guess? 12.45 a.m. on Wednesday morning. A little

0:16.1

bit better than 4.00 a.m. the other day. Jackson just told us that he was up till 7.30 putting

0:21.6

that together. And he had a meeting at 9.45 and his bosses were like, come on Jackson,
