0:00.0	We're here at the Indigo Hotel in downtown Los Angeles,
0:02.5	and whenever our creators in town and we have an opportunity to create content,
0:05.5	we try and grab it, so here we are.
0:07.5	We're here we are. Beya, thank you for jumping on the show and agreeing to do this. I have a lot of questions for you.
0:34.2	But for people who don't know who you are, can you please introduce yourself?
