Hey folks, it's Kevin.

Listen, I was talking to a risk fan the other day on Zoom.

Her name's Veronica.

And I said to her, listen, Veronica, the main reason I want to move to Thailand is to have a much

lower cost of living. It's absolutely necessary for me at this point. And the thing is, what

savings I do have is running out fast. In terms of money, I'm racing against the clock this year.

I said to Veronica, the move itself is going to be costly in certain ways. And I'm just terrified

of showing up in Thailand without any savings. But I'm also hesitant to talk about it too much on the podcast

because we ask people for money for the show itself all the time.

And I'm worried that my own personal fundraising efforts

might just get on listeners' nerves.

And Veronica said, fuck that.

She said, Kevin, we love the show and we love you.

We want you to have this new journey, and we know the show and your life are so

interwoven. And so pitching in to help you embark on such a storyworthy endeavor would be something

I think a lot of risk bands would want to do. So I was very thankful to Veronica.

That was a very encouraging conversation.

So as you know, I'm putting together my eight-week-long online storytelling workshops.

I'm offering this spring and summer of 2025, starting one in mid-April,

one in mid-May, one in June. But I also thought I should figure out something of value to those

folks who don't want to take a big workshop. I wonder how many listeners would enjoy this. Because I know I would.

I can offer 45-minute personal Zoom calls with listeners. You get on Zoom with me to hang out.
