This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. been joining us and I hope he comes back because we have so much to talk about but

0:16.6

the show is slammed I just fit him in because this show is about action and when you

0:21.0

hear people out there not just sitting and complaining and bitching and doing this circular thing, but actually doing something, I want to talk to them because there's a blueprint there.

0:30.0

So let me welcome to the show. He is the founder of defeat by tweet. Let me welcome

0:34.3

Xander Schultz welcome. Okay. All right before we get into defeat by tweet and what you guys are launching today, you know, I'm looking at you. I'm thinking that you might be a little melonemic. I think you are.
