Do you ever feel like you need to be funny to be liked? How do you handle pressure to always “perform” for others? In this candid, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving episode of On Purpose, Jay sits down with comedian, actor, and podcast superstar Bert Kreischer—famously known for his shirtless stand-up and his ability to keep audiences laughing nonstop. This conversation goes way beyond the jokes as Jay and Bert dive deep into the real stories behind the spotlight, revealing the layers of vulnerability, self-doubt, and emotional growth that make Bert more than just a party-loving comic. Bert shares what it was like growing up with a tough, old-school dad who believed in powering through pain and never showing weakness. That mentality helped shape Bert’s work ethic but also left him carrying emotional weight for years. In one of the most touching moments of the episode, Bert shares how a simple, unexpected conversation with his dad, while they were both high on edibles, changed everything, helping them finally see each other clearly and connect on a deeper level. With Jay’s thoughtful guidance, they unpack Bert’s real-life struggles with anxiety, chasing approval, and feeling like you’re never enough, things so many of us can relate to. Bert is refreshingly honest about his mental health, his parenting ups and downs, and what it's like trying to stay grounded while raising two sharp, hilarious daughters who aren’t afraid to call him out. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Stay Humble While Chasing Big Dreams How to Raise Kids Who Keep You Grounded How to Keep Showing Up Even When It's Hard How to Use Vulnerability as a Superpower How to Manage Anxiety Without Shame How to Turn Criticism into Growth How to Stay Grateful Through Every Stage of Success This episode is full of laughs, a few tear-jerking moments, and plenty of insight into what it really means to show up, be yourself, and keep going, even when it’s hard.

Chris Maxwell and Tracy Reynolds continue their conversation with author and editor Drew Dyck. In this episode, Drew guides the audience through the key points in his book Just Show Up.

But Drew offers us a better view. What if our task is to show up, to be, to live, to endure? What if our presence in ministries and in leadership roles matters more than anything our culture would consider as ways to improve our ranking? Hear Drew's stories and his laughter and his guidance. Take notes. Set healthy goals for your own life. And, as you are, remember to just show up. https://www.drewdyck.com/

How We Choose to Show Up hands over the keys to a happier, more effective, balanced life. How? By revealing nature's model of how we're designed to thrive. Every day we have a choice: • Do we “Just Show Up,” improvising as we go, phoning in our intentions? • Do we “Truly Show Up,” living decisive moments with intent? • Or are we “Barely There,” struggling to Show Up at all? Marcy Axelrod discusses about showing up. Marcy Axelrod is a bestselling and award-winning author, TV Contributor, 2X TEDx speaker and management consultant. Her latest book, How We Choose to Show Up was recently awarded the Hayakawa book prize. For more, go to https://choosetoshowup.com

Mark McBride, author of "The Yonomicon" and inventor of 3A yo-yoing, discusses the pivotal transition from fixed axle to transaxle yo-yos, which allowed for longer and more complex tricks. He emphasizes the importance of cataloging tricks by breaking them down into fundamental components, introducing holds, moves, and a notation system in his pioneering book on yo-yo theory. The conversation explores adopting a "skateboarding mentality" in yo-yoing, encouraging players to embrace failure and foster creativity. Topics include the evolution of yo-yoing over the past 25 years, the development of new tricks and divisions like 3A, and the significance of symmetry and documentation. They discuss how originality emerges naturally through dedicated practice and the influence of other art forms on yo-yoing. The evolution of 3A is examined, including the yoyos used and the concept of the "five houses of 3A," illustrating how competition trick selection shaped the style's direction. The importance of style, flair, and the early role of contests and clubs in building the yo-yo community is highlighted. Emphasis is placed on grassroots organizing, encouraging individuals to create events and clubs independently without needing permission or significant funding, thereby enriching and expanding the community.

"There was no 'they'. Why Can't we be, THEY!?" -- Grant Mitchell, CEO Every Cure Every Cure has powerful solutions for people seeking them and they did not invent them. The most effective soliutions connect individuals in need with those who offer a product-- specifically in this case a repursosed pill.   Billions of dollars are spent researching and develeopning pharmacutical drugs and often times that R&D sits on a shelf because it does not know who to give it to.  Developed for one reason, there likely are applications for another solution and "they" do not know that. Every Cure became the "They" because their Co-Founder David Fajgenbaum was one of those patients needing the drug that was sitting on that shelf with no one to connect the two. It is an origin story our of desparation, courage, application of dedicated intellect, fear and an affliction that would lead to certain death because there was semingly no cure. Grant Mitchell lives his life thoughtfully and with intention.  This means he pursues things because one of the disciplines in his life is to "Just Show Up."  And when you show up with intention you see "what you can do in life to create greater surface area." When you increase your surface area you can connect people and it leads to solving problems.  Every Cure is solving the biggest problems-- they are saving lives. 

This episode is about you, the listener, and the rest of the Ultra Running Guys family.  And the gratitude that we have for all you have given us, and for allowing us to join forces with you on this epic journey.  Because of you, we have learned so much, met people and built friendships that we never would have otherwise, and somehow managed to eclipse 206,000 downloads over the life of the show.  And for a couple of guys who were blown away when we hit 50 downloads, trying to figure out who in the world besides our wives and moms would actually take the time to listen, it feels like quite the accomplishment.  But again, the credit is yours.  And for that, we can't say THANK YOU enough.  And so, for our final show, we are going back to where it all started, bringing back the man who was the catalyst for our first Podcast, and has since become a lifelong friend.  Join Steve Epifano as he helps us walk down memory lane and hopefully gracefully close out the Final episode of The Ultra Running Guys Podcast. We appreciate you and remember, when in doubt, Just Show Up.

How can we glorify God and bless others when we're stretched to capacity? Are we really supposed to change the world when there's work to be done, the house needs cleaning, and the kids are screaming? Today's guest, Drew Dyck, is here to let us all in on a little secret: God doesn't expect you to do everything! He wants you to be faithful, not famous, and just show up in your everyday, ordinary life. That's actually how we change the world! Drew is a writer, speaker, and the author of the countercultural book, “Just Show Up.” Today, he starts by explaining where our misled desire to change the world came from and how social media has led many to believe that “celebrity Christian” status is both desirable and within reach. He shares why self-expressive individualism and authenticity are overrated and issues a call to remember the importance of our roles in others' lives. He ends with a challenge: where are the places that all Christians must “show up” for each other? Listen now!

As always, cheers to your evolution! Key Takeaways: When it comes to battling your ego just remember who you are serving. This is where a business owner needs to stay!  Branding is everything because it is the way you communicate your value to others.

In this podcast we discuss 4 key areas on how Rory overcame multiple addictions. We dig deep into 4 core areas listed below. This will be a  Broken Promises, Coach vs. Coke, Skills and Drills, and Just Show Up. Today, Edwards now coaches two to three classes per week at CrossFit 916 — “he's definitely made the gym a better place because of his positive energy,” James said — and has three goals for his CrossFit career moving forward: to become a Certified CrossFit Level 4 Coach, to compete as a master in the CrossFit Games, and to open his own CrossFit affiliate one day — possibly named CrossFit Carla, after his mother. Mostly, Edwards wants to do for others what his coaches have done for him. “I think the reason I never gave up on him is because he kept showing up,” Sanchez said. “And that's kind of what I tell everybody that's at the gym … whatever you need, we're going to help you the best we can, but you have to show up; you have to show that you want change.” It's not that coaches are therapists, Edwards clarified, but “what coaches do is therapeutic,” he said. “I want to be able to help other people on so many different levels,” he said. “I want to be able to show people that there is a place you can come that is a healthy coping skill, and we can work through some things, whether it's food addiction, if you have diabetes, if you have cancer; whatever you feel like is holding you back in life.” “I want to welcome people in,” Edwards continued. “Whether you're an athlete and superb or you're like Annie in Auburn that's 92 years old.” Sit Back because you will enjoy this episode!

If you're a listener of this podcast, you probably have figured out that I am a huge fan of improv. In fact, this is my third improv-related episode! Each has been unique and has brought its own gifts—and, as you'll soon hear, this one delivers big. Author and Stanford Business School instructor, Patricia Ryan Madson wrote a book I loved book so much I listened to it twice! It's called Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up. SuperPsyched guest and world-famous Stanford Psychology Professor Emeritus, Dr. Philip Zimbardo said, “Her students often describe her as a ‘goddess,' but that may be an understatement.

So, I would love for you to share with our listeners a little bit about the technique that you talk about in the article. • Are there any other techniques that you encourage someone to practice in order to overcome that speaking anxiety? • A big part of communication outside of speaking is listening, what has been your experience as a coach trying to help people to become better listeners? • Can you share with our listeners what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? • We'd also like for you to share with our listeners, maybe one or two books that you've read, could be a book that you read recently, or even one you read a very long time ago, but the book has had a very big impact on you. • Can you also share with our listeners what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. • Where can listeners find you online? • Now, before we wrap our episodes up, Matt, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get derailed or you get off track, this quote kind of helps to get you back on track.   Highlights Matt's Journey Matt shared that he's somebody who has always been passionate and curious about communication. He remembers as a young child, being fascinated with how people communicate. In fact, one day, his mother decided it was important for him and his brother to have a yard sale, a garage sale because they had so much stuff, she was frustrated and wanted to get rid of it.  And where he grew up, there were lots of garage sales all over the place. And his mother specifically said, misspell the word garage on the signs that they were putting up and he was surprised by this advice. But they did and they inserted the letter “B” in the word garage. So, they had a garbage sale while everybody else had a garage sale. And they sold more stuff than anybody that weekend. And at that moment, he realised wow, the way you speak, the language you use, the words you use can influence people.  So, ever since then he's been fascinated by it, he studied it in school in graduate school, he worked in the corporate world for over a decade and saw the impact of communication both good and bad. And to this day, he finds it fascinating and do a lot of work in the field.    Techniques Talked About in The Article from Entrepreneurs Magazine, How to Sound Smarter and Memorable Anytime Me: Now, I was lucky enough when travelling in October to purchase a copy of Entrepreneur Magazine. And I came upon your article, “How to Sound Smart and Memorable Anytime.” And I read the article and I was so intrigued, it caught my attention so much that I was like, “Oh my goodness, I have find this gentleman on LinkedIn and I have to invite him as guest on our podcast.” And so, I would just love for you to share the technique that you talked about in this article as it relates to communication and presenting and just share with our listeners a little bit about what that technique can do to improve on your presentations.   Matt shared that when it comes to communicating, especially communicating in the moment, it is critical that we are effective and we come off as confident, competent and clear. Many of us get very nervous when we have to speak in the moment and it can be very challenging for us. So, he has spent a lot of his last little bit of times trying to learn how to help people be better at speaking in the moment and that's what his whole new book is about. It's really about helping people feel better in the moment so that they can come off as confident and comfortable and help those better understand what it is they're talking about.  So, the article that you're referring to is really about one of the ways that we can go about sounding better and more intelligent when we speak, it's leveraging a specific structure. So, what's critical in our communication is that we package the information up in a way that is readily digestible by our audience. Many of us when we communicate spontaneously just itemize information, we share what we're thinking as we're thinking it. And that's not how people process information.  He talked to many neuroscientists and they say our brains are wired for story, something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, logical connections of ideas.  So, in the article and one of the things he teaches a lot is how do you put structure to communication? And he talked about one of his favourite structures, it's three questions. What?, So, what? Now, What?   What is the idea you're talking about? It's your product, your service, your offering your update, your feedback, it is the what?  So, what is why is it important and relevant to your audience? We have known for decades that content that is relevant and salient for an audience is what they pay attention to.  And then finally, now, what is what comes next? Maybe it's do you have questions for me, or let me show you a demonstration, or let's set up another meeting.  So, by simply following the structure, What, So, what, Now, what, answering those questions, you can package up your information nicely. In fact, he just used that structure to help explain the structure. He told you what it was, why it's important, and how you can use it. So, that article, and a lot of what he does is really about helping people learn different structures for different speaking situations.    Me: Amazing. And you also had some other structures that you mentioned in the article where you spoke about: ·      Problem, Solution, Benefit ·      Point, Reason, Example point ·      Comparison, Contrast, Conclusion ·      Situation, Task, Action and Result Could you just elaborate, maybe about 10 to 20 seconds on each for those just for our listeners, as well?   Matt shared that when it comes to speaking in the moment, there lots of different types of circumstances and situations that we find ourselves in. And different structures apply for different situations. So, when you're selling something, trying to persuade somebody of something, a very useful structure is problem, solution, benefit.  Many of us have found ourselves in circumstances where we need to persuade, so you articulate the problem, challenge or issue, you then explain your suggestion for how we go about solving it. And then you explain the benefits of doing so. So, that can be a very useful structure. In fact, any television advertisement you've ever seen has been in that structure.  There are other structures as well. In the article, he talked about another one, he recommends that people use a lot, which is comparison, contrast, conclusion, you compare two items together or three, or four. And then you talk about how they're different, that's the contrast. And then you give your conclusion. There are myriad structures out there, people are familiar with some, others not so familiar with. But the idea is to have a toolkit of structures that you can leverage to help you in those moments where you're struggling.   Techniques Encouraged to Practice in Order to Overcome Speaking Anxiety  Me: So, a big part of what you do as well, Matt is trying to help people get over the anxiety of presenting in front of a lot of people confidently, and I know structure, the methodology of the structure will definitely help you to have a little bit more focus, and you will have something in place versus just going up there and not knowing what to say. But are there any other techniques that you encourage someone to practice in order to overcome that speaking anxiety?   Matt shared that first and foremost, he doesn't think you can overcome anxiety, he thinks we can become more comfortable with it, we can learn to manage it. But would we even want to overcome it, anxiety is actually helpful to us, it is something that helps us focus, it allows us to be sure that what we're saying is important for ourselves and our audience, and it gives us energy. So, to him, it's all about managing anxiety, not overcoming anxiety.  And when it comes to that there are lots of things that people can do, we can manage both symptoms, as well as sources, symptoms are the things that we physiologically experience. And then sources are the things that initiate and exacerbate our anxiety.  So, it's important to attack both situations. So, symptoms are the things that we experienced, so many people get shaky, they feel their heart rate go up, so to help those with specific techniques, for example, deep belly breathing, you can breathe, take a slow inhale in and a longer exhale out and that will actually initiate a relaxation response that can help and it doesn't take very much to actually have that take effect. If you're shaky that's adrenaline trying to move you from threat towards safety and that means that we can do some movement in the beginning of a presentation stepping forward towards the audience, big broad gestures that gives the adrenaline a place to go and that way we can feel less anxious of our symptoms.  Now there are sources too, sources are the things that start our anxiety and continue it.  The biggest source of anxiety is people have a goal when they speak and it's good to have a goal when you speak. But we're afraid we won't achieve our goal and if you think about it, that means we're afraid that we won't achieve a future outcome.  So, the way to short circuit goal based anxiety is to become present, be focused in the moment, focus on what you're saying, focus on the audience and their needs, do something physical to get you in your body out of your head. These are all ways to manage the source of future thoughts.  So, there's a lot we can do to manage anxiety, the very first book he wrote was called Speaking Up without Freaking Out, it's a 50 techniques to help people feel better and more comfortable in the moment speaking. So, if we can manage our anxiety, we're going to do much better when it comes to our mission.   Communication: Apart from Speaking, How to Become a Better Listener Me: I believe a big part of communication outside of speaking, which I think the bigger part of communication that's way more important than speaking is listening. What has been your experience as a coach trying to help people to become better listeners, sometimes you're in a conversation, and I find that I have a challenge personally, with persons when I'm communicating, and they don't give you a moment to express your thought fully, and they start talking in the middle of your sentence. So, you're not even able to complete what you're actually saying and how do you get to that point where you can be present in the moment when the person is speaking so you can take in all that they're saying to you and process that information carefully, before actually making a response and get to the speaking part.   Matt shared that yes, listening is really important and many of us don't do it well. In fact, he heard somebody say, “Listening is really just what we do when we're waiting for our turn.”  You need to listen deeply, focused in a present oriented way to really not only show that you care about the person to connect, but also to understand what's needed in the moment.  Giving an example. Imagine you and him come out of a meeting and you say to him, “Matt, what do you think?” And he says, “Oh, good, she wants feedback. Let me give it. Well, this work, this didn't work, you could have done this better, we should have done this, etc.” But had he really listened, he might have noticed that your tone was a little quieter than usual. You came down to the back door instead of the front door, you were looking down when you asked him that question, what you really needed in that moment was not feedback, but it was support, and he missed the clues and cues. And he by jumping into giving you all this harsh feedback might have damaged the relationship.   So, we need to learn to listen well. How do you do that?  First and foremost, you listen for the bottom line, when we focus on what the person is saying in a deep way. What's the bottom line, we listen with a much more focused intensity than how we normally do it, which is just the top line, just the gist, what are they saying. And then as soon as we hear it, we begin rehearsing and evaluating and judging and that works against us really understanding.  So, the way to become a better listener is to listen for the bottom line, to give yourself permission to pay attention not just to what they're saying but how they're saying it, context in which you're saying it. This is hard work. Listening is challenging. He heard somebody once say, “You should listen until you sweat.” And he loves that idea, because it's implying that listening is an active activity, something that we really need to focus on. So, he loves that Yanique brought up that question, and he hopes everybody listening takes time to listen better.   App, Website or Tool that Matt Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business When asked about online resources that he can't live without in his business, Matt shared that he gets a tonne of email and he uses a tool called Superhuman to help him parse through his email. It is an amazing tool, it has probably saved him 30%....40% of his email processing time. He loves the tool. He met the founder of the company a number of years ago, when he explained to him what he was working on, he fell in love with it instantly. And it is the tool he uses the most and it is the most helpful tool to him.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Matt When asked about books that have had an impact, Matt shared that beyond the books that he's written, which has had a huge impact on him. He's learned a lot in writing those two books Think Faster, Talk Smarter and Speaking up Without Freaking Out.  There are two books that he recommends to everybody. The first book is called Improv Wisdom, Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up by Patricia Ryan Madson. It is a very short book, but it is life changing. It has changed his life. It is a book that talks about the rules and ways that improvisation, improv can be applied to daily life. So, it's not about being funny, it's not about being up on a stage. It's about how to live your life in a more present oriented, connected, spontaneous way. Fantastic book!  The other book is a book he recommends to anybody looking to get better at their communication. It is an older book, as is Improv Wisdom. It is called Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Dan and Chip Heath, Chip Heath actually is a colleague of his at Stanford's Business School. It's all about how to make your ideas stand out and stick in people's minds in a world where there's a lot of things pulling at our attention. They give a six step methodology much like he does in his new book, that's all about how to make your ideas stick. He thinks everybody who wants to improve their communication, and they're lives should check out both of those books.   What Matt is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something that's he's excited about, Matt shared that he's very, very excited about the podcast he host Think Fast, Talk Smart, he's dedicating a lot of his time and resources to expanding and extending the communication best practices and tips that they share through experts. He believes it helps him become a better person, a better communicator and he certainly thinks it helps everybody. So, he's excited in the new year to put a lot of effort into that.    Me: Perfect. Okay, thank you for sharing Matt. We'll also have a link to Matt's podcast in the episode show notes as well, for anyone that would like to tap into Matt's podcast and gain some more insight on being a better communicator.   Where Can We Find Matt Online LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maabrahams Website – www.mattabrahams.com   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Matt Uses When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Matt shared that it's a quote that he heard first in a silly movie, a movie called Buckaroo Banzai. And then he says he's showing his age, because it's many, many, many years ago. He knows it didn't come from this movie, but the quote is simple, “No matter where you go, there you are.”  And he often can live in the future, he can be worried and thinking about future consequences, what comes next. And he has learned that something that can help ground him is simply to come back to the present and say, no matter where you go, there you are, deal with what's coming on in front of you and that's how we get things moving forward. So, that's one of his favourite quotes and one that helps him a lot.   Me: So, thank you so much, Matt, for taking time out of your very busy schedule, for hopping on this podcast and being so gracious in facilitating this interview when I reached out to you originally.

Few books of the Bible go off the rails as quickly or completely as the book of Job. Before the end of chapter one, there's a cosmic bet and a family left devastated. From there, things get worse! Before chapter two ends, three of Job's friends show up. They'll spend the following twenty-two chapters expressing their ignorance of God and assumptions about their friend. But before they insert a single foot into their collective mouths, they do the smartest thing they could have ever done. Job 2:13 says of those three friends, "They sat with Job on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great." Having spent time sitting with the suffering, mourning with those shaken by loss, and keeping company with those numb from the news of diagnoses, one of the most important lessons I've learned is the one in which Job's friends should have persisted: You don't need to say anything; you only need to be there. That's what our friends who are hurting need more than any words of wisdom we can spout or silver lining we can find in their pain. They simply need someone to show up. There is great peace in realizing that, without saying a word, we can bring the presence of God into their need by just showing up. In this message we go to Psalm 122, accompany King David to worship, and find encouragement from Drew Dyck's new book, "Just Show Up."

In this special Thanksgiving bonus episode, Michelle Visser is joined by Drew Dyck, author of the brand-new book Just Show Up. Grab a copy here: https://amzn.to/3G7ISmlWe chat about the importance of being present in small but meaningful ways. This episode will remind you to be thankful for those who showed up for you in life while encouraging you with practical ways you can do the same.Dyck shares how busy modern life often prevents us from truly showing up for the people and commitments most important to us. He also discusses the concept of "playing a role" even when your heart's not fully in it, because people need you to show up. Visser and Dyck talk about looking back on gaps and mistakes in your life in order to determine how to move forward and fill those gaps for others. Dyck notes that finding your purpose often comes from starting small steps, not waiting for a big sign. You'll also be encouraged to let some commitments slide, so you can be fully present where you need to be. Overall, the episode will encourage you to just show up this Thanksgiving, and trust that life's meaning is found through small acts of faithfulness, not grand achievements. We even share fun tips for making the most of Thanksgiving dinner.

 Striking auto union workers are quoting the Bible, progressive politicians are citing Jesus, and religious language is returning to more liberal causes. While everyone is focused on the rise of Christian nationalism on the political right, have we been ignoring a resurgence of the social gospel on the political left? Then, Drew Dyck is back to discuss his new book, “Just Show Up.” He says the evangelical culture's focus on changing the world for God warps our vision of a faithful life, and he argues there is deep significance in committing to simple, unspectacular callings. Plus, Phil coins a term that makes it into the Washington Post. And, an alcohol company has appointed a robot as its CEO.

World-renowned New Testament scholar N.T. Wright is back! He's written an entire book about the 8th chapter of Romans, and he talks to Skye about how this chapter and its themes—including glorification and even salvation—are widely misunderstood.

For decades most Americans have said other people cannot be trusted. The exception was regular churchgoers who reported more faith in their neighbors, but new data says attending church no longer boosts social trust. What's changed? Why are political conservatives suddenly talking much less about abortion and much more about transgender issues? Young earth creationists and Christian nationalists are flirting. What's the attraction? Kaitlyn Schiess talks to author and Instagram historian, Jasmine Holmes, about her new book “Crowned with Glory,” and the overlooked story of how Black Christians shaped American history. And Phil has a disturbing story about rats, slugs, and worms.   Holy Post Plus:  Holy Post Office - How should Western Christians be involved in missions?

While there are specific skills that go into doing any job, being able to learn by doing and make it up as you go along, is a skill a lot of workers need to have in today's market. With 80% of Americans in a job where they've had little to no training for, a surprising skill is becoming more and more important for workers every day: the ability to improvise. Patricia Ryan Madson is a longtime professor Emerita from Stanford University's theater department. During her time at the university, she founded the Creative Initiative course and the Stanford Summer Improvisation School. She's been a speaker, coach, and advisor for multiple tech giants in the Silicon Valley area, such as Adobe, Google, and Apple.  We wanted to catch up with Patricia to talk about her book “Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up,” and how theater skills like improvisation, empathy, and gratitude are imperative for business leaders in today's complicated workforce. In a time when only 15% of workers are engaged, leaders need to find a way to do more with less, and the secrets to that may just lie in some of the oldest theater practices in the world. This is another episode you're not going to want to miss, so with that…let's bring it in!
