Let's give it another shot. All right. This is really hard for me. I've recorded this more times than I can count, now. Part of the reason is I had the mic facing the wrong way the first time. So, let me just give you a quick update and get this all out of the way. I'm launching a new show and it's all about honest conversations with founders working through some of their biggest challenges as they're happening. These are the conversations that as I've been in startups for the last 20 years, don't really happen. And what I mean by that is direct, honest, meaningful, impactful, actionable feedback on whatever challenge that founders are going through. But I need something from you. I need your help to make this great. So, what I ask is that you check out the first episode, you find the feedback form in the description or on the website, and then you tell me exactly what you think. I want to know what's good, what's great, but most importantly, the thing that's going to make me smile, is tell me your most critical feedback. What you don't like, what you hate, what you think can be improved.
