Alright, well this one doesn't need any introduction. I normally have some big, long introduction about, you know, who they are and what they're doing.

But, you know, I sat here 10 years ago. We've got a post up. This is almost 10 years ago.

It was before that I started watching your content. March 20th, 2017.

Wow. I sat at a

computer screen I had two screens up one was date entry and one was a Garyby's

content so does it here now eight years like almost eight years you know

eight years and two months to the day and to have you on the pod this is this

is cool so I'm humbled brother thank you I'm a humbled brother. Thank you.

I'm very, uh, very honored that you are here in town for a cool event, a partner with

us on this. You know, there's tons of great shops and I know you're going to visit many of them,

but to have you here and in the chat for this, this is special. So first and foremost,

thank you for being here.

But obviously a lot to get into, a lot to talk about, V friends dropped this week, and

I'm just going to start right off the rip with that. You know, you started this four years ago.

What have you learned in four years about building a product that has gotten us to you know it's

funny to your point I started it four years ago I'm you know 45 years old so and I've been

doing business for 40 years at that point and really really genuinely doing it in a meaningful way

for 25 years.

So you're always learning stuff, but I don't like bullshitting.

Everything's, not that everything's going according to plan,

but I'm like trying to dig right now

because I want to bring value to the audience.
