0:00.0	And I just wanted to help families really get reconnected with all the stuff that is in our boxes
0:05.9	and in our photos and, you know, in the cloud and put it in their hands so they can really start enjoying it.
0:13.7	The important thing for the older generation to realize is that their photos, like I'm talking about their photos of them traveling,
0:26.1	that their kids don't care about that. I would want her photo next to the waterfall in the
0:30.3	family archive, but the other 98 photos that are just of her travelmates or her with her

1:27.8	minimalist resource with all of you. In this episode, I mentioned how I don't have full confidence
1:32.8	that my photos will always be protected online. I know that's likely irrational because it's where I
1:38.2	choose to store the majority of my photos. However, with that said, I also think it's so important
1:43.4	to print photos, even just your favorite
1:45.9	view every single month. So my recommendation for you today is moosh photos. I'll be sure to include it
