But if you're listening to this on Tuesday, I'm still there. So hello. It has been really affirming and wonderful. And I made a lot of friends and I'm still processing it. So I will report back probably next week more about my experience. In the meantime, please enjoy this episode with writer Hamilton Nolan. He is the author of one of my favorite substack newsletters.
