0:00.0	Stand to talk some shit on the Powell movement.
0:10.9	Welcome to the Powell Movement. I'm your host, Mike Powell, and yes, we have made it.
0:17.9	It's the 100th episode. And while I'm not going to tell you my life story on this
0:22.8	intro, you are going to hear a little bit about how we made it to 100. And then on New Year's Eve,
0:28.2	which happens to be my birthday, which also happens to be my anniversary, I'm going to be dropping
0:32.6	a podcast with myself as the guest. People have been asking me to do it for quite a long time, and I really

1:29.1	She was a miserable person who regularly brought people to tears.
1:33.1	And I worked remote, so I didn't really have to experience it.
1:35.9	She actually loved me, and I didn't have any terrible days at my office.
1:40.4	My plan was the old keep your enemies closer, and that seemed to work for me.
1:44.8	But there was nothing I could do for the others.
1:47.1	Every day was torture, and I experienced it firsthand every time I would visit the home office.
