Hey everybody, it's Brian. Before I did this Seahawks stuff full time, I worked as a manager and senior

leader, so I know how lonely it can be to try to find someone you trust to talk through people

issues, org issues, process issues as you try to lead an organization. Ryan Cleveland of

Ryan Cleveland.com is someone I trust to have those conversations with.

He specialized in working with CEOs and business owners, and you can get a complimentary free

discovery session to see if it's a good fit for you. Just go to Ryancleveland.com to sign up and start now. Good morning, everybody.

It's so bad. That's healthy. That's much healthier than I'm going to be playing inside with my son and it's going to be on. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. If I've got a like a young kid around and I'm not going anywhere, I think I think that makes some sense. Yeah, if I had Freedom with my day, I would be outside all day. I wouldn't watch any of.

That would rob. I think that makes some sense. Yeah, if I had freedom with my day, I would be outside all day.

I wouldn't watch any.

Yeah, I mean, Rachel and I last night found ourselves, like,
