John's Intro:

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Amber's Rant:

This is #27 of 52 episodes for 2022!

AAAAAAaaaand we're back! Skipped a week due to just too much going on in the home lives, and honestly we just couldn't find the time to prep for last week's show – but we are back now!

Remember to drop the socials while getting out and having fun – it adds to the enjoyment!

Go be a kid.
