My dear Asterites, my dear Asterites,

Welcome to the Aster Hustle.

Hey everybody, what's going on?

Welcome to the Aster hustle.

I'm Cori Allen, this is my podcast. I'm glad to talk to you today.

Hope you're doing well. I'm doing pretty good. I'm getting a little warm. It's getting hot in Texas. It's like

105, 106 is in the forecast here and that's pretty hot. That's kind of like brain melting go outside, can't breathe,

paralyzed type of heat. And it always each year that happens always growing up in Austin

you never you never get used to it you know it's one of these things you can

mentally prepare for it but it's kind of like trying to mentally prepare to put your hand on a hot stove.

You can sit around and you can prepare for it as much as you like, but you never remember just

how hot it is until you touch it again.

And that's kind of what the weather's like here.

It's this thing where you walk outside

and it just sucks all the oxygen out from around you.

I do think that that's why a lot of strange music and art and movies and what have you has come out of Austin and Texas over the years because I, you know, particularly there's a lot of strange kind of psych music that originated around this area and I think that's

partly due to the fact that it's so hot outside. I think that the

crazy temperatures melts the brain of people and gives you it does give you this

who's the woozy sort of double vision type of thing if you get too hot and I think maybe it

kind of melts the brain a little bit and puts people into a state of mind. It's like a mystical state induced by heat. Anyway, so that's going on and that's going to be going on for a while.

Today on the podcast I am excited to share with you is Lama Sultram.

She is an amazing woman and I just had a great with her, a really, really meaningful and just special
