I love that often the first thing we say on the podcast is our names.

but a real person and that his name is more than that his name

kind of conjures his presence and I want to share that presence by naming him to

those listening. Names have that way isn't that interesting how names have a magicalness to them. I mean it's not surprising like secret names and codes and you can be in a crowd and just you know minkoy and is lots of noise going on right but then all of a sudden the name

it's a bit like I mean

this is the wrong way of the analogy but like the Alexa sort of thing where like
