0:03.8	tweeted it, told you about it, shared it on Instagram, or something like that.
0:07.5	The only way this grows is through word of mouth. And so I don't run ads, I don't do sponsorships,
0:12.2	I don't sell anything. My only ask is that you continue to pay it forward, do whoever showed you,
0:16.4	or however you found out about this podcast that you do the exact same thing. So if it was a review,
0:21.0	if it was a post, if you do that, it would mean the world to me and you'll throw some good comment

1:26.5	someone who has both, that is someone who becomes a mainstay in their life. And what made me start
1:32.8	thinking about this was that I had so my father called me. We had a conversation earlier this morning.
1:39.2	And I love my dad. But he said, you know, I'm really proud of you, right? You know, what you've
