On Today's show, we are joined by Quinn Sterns from Audiograph.

And what we're going to talk about today is the relationship, the lovely, budding, beautiful relationship

that we've developed over the past six to nine months.

When did you email us, Quinn?

I think I emailed end of August of 2021, I think.

Okay, so I can't do the math. I can't do the math with months.

But the bottom line is that Quinn emailed us with an idea for a business

and ultimately where we are with Quinn and the team at Audiograph is Ben and I, our advisors and shareholders.

And we worked with them on creating this NFT project for our fans.

And we're going to get to all of that, but why don't we rewind and start at the beginning?

So Quinn, the last 12 months, one of the biggest themes, at least in 2021, has been the great resignation.

This idea of people leaving very comfortable jobs with bright futures to go do their own thing

and you and Andrew and Josh were part of it.

So who are you guys and tell us what that was like?

Absolutely.
