Hey, what's going on? Welcome to this moment in your life, this moment in my life, and more

specifically, welcome to the 300th episode of this podcast. Kind of feels like a lot, kind of doesn't

feel like a lot. I suppose that is a good way to sum up this whole podcast, really, is

finding the balance between extremes and finding

the interesting interplay and perhaps the insight of continued awareness and evolution that

can exist if you point your direction to the present moment.

I want to thank you all so much for hanging out, whether it's been for one

episode or two or ten or all 300, or maybe you've listened to them multiple times, so you're on

like episode 600 or something like that. But I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all being here, you all listening, and just

creating this incredible community and audience and group of people that all are just some of the

most kind, wise, and graceful people that I've ever encountered. So thank you all so much for that. Again,

it's a real honor to be able to do this show and do it for you all and just have you all

enjoying it and having an ad just contribute something, even if it's just a little entertainment

or not to get too ahead of myself,

but perhaps some edutainment in your lives.

It really just is quite a beautiful gift and I do not take it lightly.

It means so much to me and so do you.

So thank you for hanging out.

Thank you for sharing the show with your friends

and helping it grow and just get the good vibes out there in the world. And I thought,

what could be a better way to celebrate the 300th episode than by having our good friend, Michael

Philip, on the podcast? You know, Michael and I, we started our podcast around the same time.
