0:00.0 | Hello, all happy Monday. Welcome to another episode of that creative life with my friend Liz. |
0:05.6 | She stays busy, y'all. She's an advisor, angel investor, and former co-founder of Cycle, of Cycle. |
0:11.9 | And also, how I first learned of Liz is she runs at New York City on Instagram. |
0:19.5 | It's a very inspirational Instagram account if you would like to follow, |
0:23.3 | especially during this time with everything going on with COVID-19. So I thought this would be a |

1:45.7 | red tape with FTA. So Direct Relief seems like they are already delivering supplies. They have |
