We’re so glad you’re here. I want our conversation to be GREAT, so please:
Read through the questions/topics below before we record.
Have some headphones ready (to avoid feedback/echo)
Find a quiet place away from people, fans, air conditioners, electronics (if possible)
Life is crazy and preparation isn’t required, but encouraged.
We’ll both sound better this way, I promise!
