| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill on Money Podcast. It is Sunday, February 7th. It is Super Bowl Sunday. |
| 0:11.0 | And in honor of that, we have a great guest, one that you may want to actually use for your |
| 0:19.2 | Super Bowl celebration. We have the founder and CEO at Slice, which is a very cool app. |
| 0:29.1 | I actually downloaded it and used it right after this interview with the founder, Elir Salah, |
| 0:35.7 | because it sounded so cool. And I've used it a number of times. Mark and I both have used |
| 0:40.1 | it to get our pizza deliveries from an independent pizza restaurant owner. It's fantastic. So I thought |

| 2:02.1 | You know, it's so funny. I'm sure people are going to listen to this and say, oh, this just started |
| 2:05.8 | because of the pandemic. But this is now a decade that you've been doing this. Tell us a little |
