Hey everybody, I just want to take a moment to talk about a new thing I'm doing.

Over the years, many of you have reached out to me telling me how much you love the podcast,

and it's all I have is me. All I have is my personality and my stories and who I am. If this is who I

am, why would it be different when I'm telling you about a commercial I want to sell you?

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Industry Standard with me,
