and now try to write something.

I would typically would be writing like either solving a proof or trying to write some sort of difficult idea or essay.

That is the brain equivalent of I went to a gym to see my trainer, we got warmed up and then went through a pretty hard routine.

Let's take a quick break to hear from some of the sponsors that make this show possible.

Now summer's almost here, which means the arrival of vacation season.

You don't want to ruin your big trip worrying about money, which means you need Monarch.

Monarch is the personal finance app that tracks everything, accounts, investments, savings, goals, and spending.

And here's the great news.

You can get your first year of Monarch Core for half off, just $50, if you use the promo code DEEP.

Now, most apps just tell you what you already spent, but Monarch goes beyond that to help you set goals, map out big purchases, and see if you're actually on track for your savings objectives, including that special vacation that you've been daydreaming about.

Now, here's something I really like about Monarch, their AI assistant, which you can ask anything about your own finances, like how much did I spend on travel last summer?

It's like having a dedicated financial advisor available 24-7.

Now, if you use code DEEP at monarch.com, you will get your first year of Monarch Core half off at just $50.

That's 50% off your first year at monarch.com with code DEEP.

I also want to talk about our friends at ShipStation.

If your business ships things, then you 100% need to know about ShipStation.

Now, here's the thing.

Most businesses are overpaying for their shipping without even realizing it.

ShipStation automatically compares rates across UPS, USPS, and FedEx on every order with savings of up to 90%.

This could add up to significantly more money in your business's pocket.
