The following podcast is a dear media production.

Hey guys, welcome back to Weemina Dachmi.

I honestly had such a hard time deciding who would be the guest this week because we have so many exciting episodes coming up. I almost wish I could release them biweekly. Honestly, I'm going to look into that. But today is Michael Alio. He is such a sweet guy. You might have heard of him or have seen him on The Bachelorette in the past. He is a widower and single father who was able to rebuild again and find love again

after grief. He has so many interesting things to say. And as it pertains to grief, as it pertains to relationships,

all of the things, he is so wise and knowledgeable. And I really think that you're going to love

hearing from him. And I think that you're going to be really excited for the next couple

weeks episodes as well. So enjoy today's episode. If you like it, feel free to write a review.

We're on Substack at We Met at Acme and We Met at Baby. I am getting surgery on Friday. So this is

going to come out two days after I've had surgery. So I'm going to be a little out of it for a little

while. But I'm going to be documenting my out of it for a little while, but I'm going to be documenting my journey.

So hopefully it goes well. And I can't wait to share it with all of you. And I hope you enjoy the

episode. We're also on YouTube in case you haven't subscribed there yet. I'm so excited to be here

with Michael Alio. Hi. Hi. How are you? Good. So I was, you know, I didn't even

ask you what you wanted to be introduced as because now you're wearing like so many hats,

but you're an author now. Yes, I'm an author. I have a company St. James Therapeutics where we

created a novel therapeutic that offsets a side effect, a chemotherapy, a dad and all that,

but Michael's just fine.

Love it.

And can I call you Mike?

Of course.

Okay, cool.

So, Mike, we always start with the same question, which is what is your favorite romantic
