0:10.9	Hello, Smart Money Tree podcast listeners. Welcome to this week's show. My name's Kirk Chisholm and I'm going to be your host. So today, we're talking with Brian Shannon. How's it going today, Brian?
0:21.2	I'm doing good. Kirk. Thanks for having me on. Good, good. Well, I'm glad we had Brian on the show.
0:26.4	Brian's from Alpha Trends. He's a CMT. I really wanted to kind of bring this topic to bear because I think I've gotten a ton of questions recently about this. And I mean, Brian is, you know, one of the foremost experts in his

1:36.6	I was fortunate enough to meet a group who allowed me to open an office for them in Denver
