Welcome back to another episode of DIY Money.

DIY Money.

What's shaking, how what?

Getting used to Q being gone. Yeah, how is that? I mean, I feel like Quint has asked me that a bunch for on the episodes and different things. But we haven't asked each other about that. So how has it been with some of the transition? Obviously, I know Allie and I are the only ones on this episode. Quint's not going anywhere for the podcast. Right. If anything, we are leaning even heavier into the podcast every single day and every single week. And with DIY Money Daily, check it out. DIYMoney.org. We are really pushing forward as much as we can with the DIY Money podcast. But it's very different around the office. I mean, Quinn is not around from a day-to-day basis. So thoughts, how has things been? It is different. So back in our old office, we used to have this staircase. And I'll just go ahead and say it, the ugliest blue carpet ever. I just like to paint the picture. It was rough. And every day without fail. True blue, like navy blue.

Yes, as blue as it can be.

And like very thin carpet, not like soft, take a nap on it carpet.

Like this is industrial carpet.

Sure.

Like I'm just kidding. Anyway, without fail, every day in my office, I'd be drinking my coffee, angry at the world, still waking up,

and Quint would come, I mean stomping. I don't know how he made so much noise, up the stairs,

and he would always be like, what's up everybody? Like the energy he has on the podcast is every day.

Yeah.

So, that somehow by three or four.

And that was like his morning greeting. Sure. So for me, I think you have a lot of energy in the morning. I obviously do not. That's not my forte. I know my place. But I've really missed like every time. And like Quint will walk through the front doors of our new office even, and you just hear, like, clapping and things banging around, and just like, you're like, is someone dying

or is Quint here for the day? And it was a coin flip. Like, so I think for me, the saddest part,

which, like, obviously miss him as a, you know, mentor and friend, professional, all the things.

The saddest part has been, there's just such a lull in, like, the energy of the office.

And not in, like, we're not moping and having cry circles yet.

Maybe they're coming soon.
