Hey Acquired Listeners, we recorded this episode a few weeks ago in what already feels like a very different era.

Obviously we live in a whole new world now with the spread of the novel coronavirus and the global health economic and

frankly emotional fallout as a result. Yeah. In that vein we have a few

announcements to make. First and most importantly, we're thinking about all of you right

now and in the weeks and months ahead. Many of us know people who've lost their jobs or

businesses already or even worse whose families have been affected and that's likely just

going to grow significantly in the coming weeks. We want you all to know that Ben

myself and the Hulk acquired community are here to support each other.

It's true.

And related to that, we are going to make some changes for now

to both the community and the acquired show itself.

As for the show, we'll share more in the days ahead.

On the community side, we're changing a few aspects of our Slack

to help us all do everything that we can to support each other right now.

You'll find all the details in the announcement that we've

pinned to the general channel and if you haven't joined our slack yet now is a great

time to do so you can find a link on our website. We think it's especially important to find ways to try to be together right

now virtually even when physically we have to be apart.

Yep. One other thing, I'm a believer that when you have a voice, you should use it.

And David and I are fortunate to be able to talk to all of you.

So in this time, we are here to tell you to stay home.

Most of you who listen to the show are already doing this, but we figure if we can touch just one person, we can make a difference.
