Hello, welcome. This is eyes wide open. Hans Letter Investigates the first episode of a new podcast.

And I'm really excited, looking forward to actually putting a lot of energy into this, covering a whole range of different topics, and also trying to foreground

ways that we can learn more, understand, more, become more empowered, and prevent some of these larger

forces and patterns that are occurring in our world. And so I'll be covering a

variety of topics. Like I said, this is just hitting the ball out of the ballpark day one, the first

episode. I'm so excited. I don't know. I need like the champagne bottle. No, but it's great to be here.

And so, and as a show unfolds,

I would like to say that, you know, people are more than welcome to send me a topics or things

that might consider to talk about. I've done that for a number of different things. Even the

large scale project I did with Yon was just because he had a guest cancel.

And I had actually never thought about that particular topic, but it became like a very

large series.

So I'm open to different types of topics, but I'm also going to be featuring guests.

And it's a great pleasure to be joined by William Ramsey, who's, obviously, if you're watching this, you know who he is.

But he's a great, he's an author.

He's a broadcaster.

He's a researcher.

He's also just an overall great guy.

And so it's a real pleasure to

connect here with William and really let him have the floor. So William, welcome. Thank you.

Thanks for having me on your first episode. I'm glad to be here. It's great to have the tables

turned because you've been on my show like 15 times maybe 12 15 times and those are all
