So this is the Where Did the Road Go Midweek podcast.

And we have Micah Hanks back with us.

How are you, Micah?

I'm doing great, Soraya.

It's always good to catch up and chat with you.

And this comes on the month out from your paradigm, end of your paradigm festival conference this year. And how did that go?

It went real well. And, you know, as I was, and full disclosure here, you know,

Soraya and I tend to catch up a bit before we do our programs. And so I had a moment of utter fear and realization just a few minutes ago where I came to this, this, this, this
