Hey Gang! 

Thank you for reading these words that my fingers are typing at 6am. Sorry the pod didnt get posted lastnight but I was really tired from the weekend and I decided to go to bed at 8pm and wake at 3:30. Do you ever do that? Well it was worth the wait because I have a good opening and 2 awesome guests who both are super smart people that help me make sense of things.
