| 0:07.0 | What's up everybody, Pat Flynn here, and welcome to episode 312 of Aspat. Thank you so much for joining me today. |
| 0:16.4 | Sweet. Now let's get to today's question from Tom. |
| 0:20.3 | Hi, my name is Tom, and I have developed a website called crowdphoto.net, which is a photography on demand marketplace. |
