| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Blister podcast on the Blister Podcast Network. I'm Jonathan |
| 0:08.0 | Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. |
| 0:16.6 | Today, we are sharing with you what may have been the most important panel session from our |
| 0:22.6 | Blister Summit. |
| 0:23.8 | It was certainly one of the most powerful and moving conversations we had at the summit, and we |
