We finally, finally started regularly filming podcast episodes and posting the video to YouTube. You should go check it out, but that meant that we needed an in-person producer.

I picked it up thinking it would have a few tips on organizing my home while working more than full time and being a wife and mother. Don't get me wrong, it does have tips and tricks, but it's also a masterclass in understanding why organizing the bathroom counter is a little harder for some people than others and what to do when that's you.

Modern IPOs are way overhyped. Do you feel like the system is rich?

They hand pick a price. The retail investors get screwed.

I really like this battery manufacturer in China. I think China is extremely well positioned to serve solar and battery demand across the world. We don't have any competitive products whatsoever in the US.
