I'm just talking out.

I'm talking out.

I don't know where it all lands, but over the years and certainly in the last few months, it's been very moving for me to hear how much

of what I do and what we did here, the conversations, the stories, my life has had an impact.

It's profound.

and humbling because I rarely think about that.

I mean, it's been a long time since I thought about like how many people are listening or it's been a long time since I, I've listened to a whole podcast.

So my experience with this is I'm just sitting out here.

I'm just sitting out here in the garage talking, but I know I'm talking to you and, and I do that as full heartedly as I possibly can.

And I, I guess that comes through and,

I want to reflect a little bit, I think, because I've been thinking about me in relation to this show and in relation to my life and how it kind of began.

But also before that, before that, and some words come up to me.

You know, look, I've been called self-centered.

I've been called narcissistic.

I've been called, you know, a navel-gazer.

You know, these are the bad things.

And in reflection about who I am and what my creativity is,

I came upon a few words.

A lot of times when I talk about starting this podcast, there's a sense that it was desperation.

And that word has connotations that are negative, that that guy's desperate.
