Welcome back to the Personality Hacker podcast.

My name is Joel Mark Witt.

And I'm Antonia Dodge.

Hi, Antonia.

Hi, Joel.

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

Yeah?

You're doing good this week?

It's been a bit of a stressful week, but I'm all right.

I have to say, at the time of this recording, the United States is going through a pretty intense political environment.

And it is hard to focus. It is hard to pay attention. You and I live in the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania here at the time of this recording. Yes. It seems to be a very busy place to live

these days. And years from now, or from now or even a couple weeks from now,

this might seem very dated really quick. It will seem dated quick, but my goodness right now,

it feels like it is a thick stew. We are in the center of politically. So it's, it's, you know,

we're talking about like, okay, we got to, we need to record some podcasts. We need to write some

articles. We need to get some things done. And man, I'm having a hard time being present to my life

at just so many distractions. Everybody's upset and focused on things. It's just like impossible.

The canvassing is crazy. I think we have somebody knocking on our door probably almost every day

or hanging something on our doornob.

Yeah.
