Hey everybody, what's happening? It's Rich Roll. I'm your host. And this is the Rich Roll Podcast. Thanks so much for tuning in today. Have a very interesting topic to discuss.

With my erstwhile co-host Julie Poyett. Hi Rich Roll. How are you? Well, thanks for having me on. Back on for another edition of AMA. Ask me anything.

That's right. Exciting. It is exciting. Before we get into that though, we have a couple milestones to celebrate today. That's right, we do. This is episode 200 of the podcast. Can you believe that? 200 episodes?

That's incredible. Wow. All the way back from that first podcast episode that we recorded in the warehouse in Kauai when we were in a year. And I had no idea what I was doing.

It's come a long way and really proud to not only still be doing this, but growing it and continuing to always improve. And it's been quite a journey.

So thank you everybody out there who has taken this leap of faith with us. It's been quite the ride. At the same time, we also just surpassed our three year anniversary on the podcast as well.

Wow, it's crazy. So that's pretty cool as well. So thank you so much to everybody who has been along for the ride.

I know. And who knew? Like just I can still remember the first episode with the rain coming down in sheets and the mosquitoes eating my ankles alive, like literally.

Well, the echo drawing blood echo. We're on a concrete floor in a warehouse that has like a ceiling that's like 70 feet above us. And you hear the whole thing like egg going around. It was crazy.

I think we stayed true to the spirit of that original show. Of course, it's become a little bit more professional. And we have, you know, sponsors and things like that. So it's a little bit different.

But I think the core of it, the essence, the spirit of it has remained in it.

Yeah, and it's so cool. I mean, meeting people to who have been with us from the very beginning who began listening on Kauai. And it's such a real time intimate experience to be able to share that with people.

And it's just an incredible blessing that, you know, it's still happening and growing and that it's turned into this just incredible medium of sharing energy and and connecting with so many beautiful people.

Yeah, what's also cool.

What's also cool is how podcasting in general has blown up. Like when I mean, I would hardly consider, you know, the beginning of this show to be.

And consider myself to be an early adopter and podcasting. It's been around for a long time.

Yeah, you are already listening to tons of shows.

But sort of early adopter, like because it preceded the kind of explosion that has occurred in the last maybe year of podcasting. So now it's become, you know, sort of a much more mainstream thing than it was originally. And that's really fun to be part of that as well.

And it's a cool community of people. I love being on other people's podcasts and having other podcasters on my show.

So, yeah, it's a great medium of communicating for sure.

Here's into another two year, three years and two hundred more episodes.

It's great.
