  • This is The Guardian.

  • Before we start, we do have an update.

  • Since recording this episode, Andy Burnham has announced

  • the RAF will help Saudi jets refuel to support their fight against the Hooties.

  • Today, the battle over the other waterway that could crash the global economy.

  • Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system.

  • A missed call doesn't feel like anything.

  • No red flag, no notifications screaming at you.

  • It just disappears into your call log.

  • And nine times out of ten, that was someone ready to hand you money.

  • That's why today's episode is brought to you by Quo, spelled Q-U-O,

  • the business phone system built so you never miss a call.

  • Here's what I like about it.

  • All your calls, texts, and voicemails live in one place,

  • so anyone on your team can pick up a conversation, see the full history, and respond fast.

  • No more, wait, who talked to this customer last?

  • And if you're worried about after-hours leads slipping through,

  • Quo's optional built-in AI agent can answer questions and even book appointments while your team's offline.

  • It's the number one rated business phone system on G2, and over 90,000 businesses already trust it to stay reachable.

  • Money is on the line.
