  • It's great to have you on.

  • And if I have got my dates correct, the last time you were on the podcast was September

  • 2024. So this show will be coming out in September 2026, so two years to the date.

  • And a lot has happened in your life since then.

  • A lot, right?

  • I mean, who knew?
