| 0:00.0 | Lemonada. |
| 0:02.7 | This is Sarah Stewart Holland. |
| 0:15.3 | This is Beth Silvers. |
| 0:16.2 | You're listening to Pantsuit Politics today. |
| 0:18.5 | We're going to respond to the state of the union and really kind of |
| 0:21.5 | workshops some feelings about the president and the cabinet and the Congress, which will lead us to |
| 0:28.4 | talking about 2028. I love reminding myself that elections come. You know, it's just that |
| 0:33.9 | grounding force. We're not stuck here forever. There will be something new. |
| 0:37.9 | We get to decide what that something new is. |
| 0:39.7 | So I think you're going to love that conversation about 2028. |
| 0:42.3 | I think there's a lot to discuss around it. |
| 0:44.8 | And we love it when you discuss the episode with us. |
| 0:47.3 | And then outside of politics, we just both did Dan Pink's self-reflection exercise using AI, which was a fascinating and mind-bending experience. |

| 1:18.6 | about the State of the Union. Starting something new isn't just hard. It's terrifying. So much |
| 1:25.2 | work goes into something and you're not sure if it'll work out. It can be hard to take a leap of faith like that. I know because when we started Pants to Pantsu Politics, I barely knew what a podcast was. And I wondered if no one would listen. I worried I would make a fool of myself. I still do before we hit publish every episode. And I worry about whether we can make it work. Over 10 years later, I'm very grateful |
| 1:45.0 | that we took the leap. We also have not made it this far by ourselves. Partners make everything |
| 1:50.6 | work behind the scenes for our small business, including today's sponsor, Shopify. |
| 1:56.4 | Shopify is a commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10% of all e-commerce in the U.S. from household names like Heinz, Coda Paxi, and Pantsuit Politics to brands that are just getting started. |
