0:00.0	Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to Join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma Daughter.
0:08.8	Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with the one and only. Our Join the Journey summer intern, Michaela Swink.
0:17.9	Hey, Michaela, it's good to have you here. You're normally behind the scenes.
