Thanks for the amazing conversation on the podcast! I learned so much.

And the flight was awesome. I’ve never said that about a flight before! Shoutout to our new friend, Drew with the perfect voice.

He does indeed have a perfect voice 😂.

I, too, have never called a flight awesome. This was so much fun.

Loved the pod. We shall do it again!

I discovered your Substack via the interview with Michael Easter. That was so excellent, my husband and I sent the interview around to many of our friends. I don't play poker but love all the analogies and now, reading all your Substack from the beginning is truly a gift. Keep writing! My husband and I refuse to fly these days but when I did, I definitely went for the window seat with the shade open. Car trips are even better for looking out at the world!

Oh, thank you so much, how lovely to hear!

I totally agree about looking out the window on flights--it's why I always try to book a window seat--and I think it's nuts that people pull the shade down during daylight flights. Looking forward to hearing about your new projects in the works.

Thank you so much! And glad to hear you're a fellow "window shades up" person. May more of us exist!
