This episode is sponsored by Shopify. I cannot believe it's 2025, but I think it has a nice ring to it.

So if you've been sitting on a business idea or a product or something you want to sell or a business you want to start, I think this is the year to do it.

And if you are going to do it, Shopify is the right platform for you.

If you've been watching the show for a while,

then you know that I've used Shopify for going on almost 10 years now. It is the only site I've ever

used to sell things on, and it is the best. Established in 2025 has a nice ring to it. You have to

admit. So sign up for your $1 per month trial period if you go to

Shopify.com slash X's, all lowercase. Go to Shopify.com slash X's to start selling today.

That's Shopify.com slash X's. Okay, hi guys. Happy New Year. You may have noticed that last week I did not

have an intro to my podcast.

I am like going back and forth on trying to decide if I'm going to keep doing my

intros because they do sometimes feel a little bit redundant. I do think it's nice to

have like a catch up that is just like me to you. However, I also feel like I could just be doing that

on Patreon and then the episodes. I feel like the episodes look really daunting when they're like an

hour and a half long. And sometimes that's because my intro where I'm just talking alone is like

15 minutes long, which is annoying. I guess some of you like it but i i wonder if i should

just move it to patreon so let me know what y'all think about that um but today i'm doing it so hey

if you guys didn't know i am going on tour in march if you haven't bought a ticket yet going on tour

in north america two can two Canadian shows, one in

Toronto, one in Vancouver, and then the rest is America. So if you haven't gotten a ticket yet,

please buy a ticket. Come see me on tour March 19th. I'll be on tour my birthday and I'll be in

San Francisco. So if you're around, please come. The link is in my bio below. I'm so excited to go on tour.
