Welcome to Stumbling Through Work where educators figure shit out. I'm your host, jarek Huff, and I'm here to explore and share the complexities of our work and let you know you are not alone. Before we start, though, please follow this podcast and share episodes with others. You can find me on my website, wwwjerekhuffcom, where you can find links to my social media and where I share information and tips for educators. Now let's jump into today's episode. Hey team, welcome to another episode of Stumbling Through Work where educators figure shit out.
Speaker 1:Today, we have another ludicrous story coming out of the state of Florida. The article reads as such A day you know what sidebar. Have you guys ever realized that Florida and Texas always have the craziest shit going on? I don't know why, but there's always some crazy shit that's happening. I mean, other states have issues, but when it specifically comes to like children, childcare, early childhood, it's always the worst and craziest stories coming out of these two states, like they just breed craziness. I'm not quite sure how the universe aligns in those locations, but it's always something left field coming out of those two states. But I digress, I don't want to piss off my florida and texas people, but I kind of do. But the story reads as follows but I kind of do. But the story reads as follows A daycare worker I hate the word daycare A daycare worker was arrested last week after she allegedly kicked, slapped and flipped off a child who was quote being bad according to deputies I love how they threw the word allegedly in there Just making sure that we know and this is already you know, getting ready to start off with some foolishness, because they wanted us to know that not only was the child kicked and slapped, but they were flipped off.
Speaker 1:Now, flipping off a child, it's not a crime, but they wanted us to know all the details, because this county is messy and I'm here for it. So the teacher, 20 years old, was charged with child abuse without great bodily harm a felony after the incident that unfolded on Friday at the school. According to an arrest affidavit from the county sheriff's office, the teacher is no longer employed with the school, the daycare said in a statement to Fox 35. Well, I hope that they are no longer employed because if they were, I would be judging you. So kudos for not, you know, letting them go. Quote we have provided everything to local authorities and we are cooperating and assisting with their investigation. Unquote. They said in a statement to Fox 35. Well, I mean, of course you're going to say that because if you weren't, you know, providing and helping out with the local authorities, nobody would come to you, you would have no business. But whatever, all right.
Speaker 1:This is where it gets interesting. So this is the unfolding of the events. The child was placed in time out after she continued to misbehave and was disruptive. The affidavit said the teacher allegedly kicked and placed her foot on the child to guide her to timeout. Unquote. The affidavit does not disclose how old the child was, but the school offers preschool child care and daycare services. According to his website.
Speaker 1:After the girl was taken out of timeout, she reportedly continued to misbehave and kicked a wall, and that's when the teacher allegedly slapped her in the back of the head. Carmichael then flipped sorry. The teacher then flipped her off and went back to the classroom. The alpha david said okay, wait a minute, pause. Right there, I got several questions. Something in this is Let me go back and read that again, because the girl went from time out and then she was slapped in the back of the head. Then the teacher flipped her off and then went back to the classroom. When did they leave the classroom? Did I miss a part of the story? Because I just read it again. I'm missing where they to the classroom. When did they leave the classroom? Did I miss a part of the story? Because I just read it again. I'm missing where they exit the classroom. But Nope, read it again. We never left the classroom, okay, so after she flipped her off, went back to the classroom, the teacher admitted to deputies that she slapped the girl.
Speaker 1:Well then, it's not allegedly, like you all said at the beginning. It's not allegedly. She did the shit. The child declined medical attention. The teacher was placed under arrest and transported to the county jail complex. She has since been released after posting a $5,000 bond. She's slated to appear in court.
Speaker 1:According to the arrest records and you know, the sad thing about this is it says related story at the bottom An angry Florida teacher elbows a 12 year old During a basketball game, knocking out his tooth. Please see, see, it's the same shit what I said always in Florida, some random ass shit happening. I'm sorry y'all, I just swear the craziest things come out of Florida. So let's break this down. So um 20 year old teacher has kicked, slapped and flipped off a child. On a serious, real note, the name of the school I'm not going to say, but it sounds non-educational and they offer preschool childcare and daycare services. So that, right, there is a red flag to me. Anyone that's offering daycare services lets me know that there's not a lot of training usually going on, because if they're looking at daycare because you're caring for the day, I don't know how you do that, but whatever, if you are in that situation where you're working at a daycare, there's probably less education happening, which means you probably have run-of-the-mill, terrible teachers going on. Terrible teachers going on.
Speaker 1:But she put her foot to guide the child's time out. We're not even gonna talk about time out and how that's just a horrible thing to do. That we know we left in the 90s and how we should be redirecting children. We're not even gonna touch that. I'm stuck on the fact that you are guiding a child with your nasty foot that you have walked over this earth with and you have put on another human being. That is disgusting, that is nasty and I'm going to be honest from a parent perspective. It's you and me later on, because that is just that is the bottom of your foot, like that's just disgusting and then you slap the child in the back of the head. Now let's rewind to where it says she continued to misbehave and was disruptive.
Speaker 1:My thing is this if this, according to the way this is written, this child. I don't want to ever say children are bad, but I will say they are challenging. The way this is written, this child has already been challenging before. Way this is written, this child has already been challenging before, so you're not surprised. You know, sometimes I tell teachers if you have a challenging child and every day you come in and they're challenging, that's your fault. It's your fault because you're not prepared for the day that child is going to come in and be challenging every single day. So why are you as the adult, why are you as the teacher, why are you as the educator, not prepared for that child every day? When I would have a difficult child, I can't prepare the next day because I said that child is not going to get me. I came prepared with everything lesson plan, extra activities, activities. I put thought into what I'm going to be teaching that day. I put thought into what I'm gonna do with that child every day, so that this child was not challenging. So the way that, like I said, this is written, the child was already difficult in the class, so that lets me know no pre thought had been given to helping this child out.
Speaker 1:You guided a child with your foot. You slapped them in the back of the head. I can't imagine seeing that I haven't. I personally, as an educator, have an issue listening to someone yell at children. So to get to the point to where we're creating physical violence, I just don't understand that, especially because we're supposed to be teaching, you know, social and behavior skills to our children and we can't control ourselves as an adult. So how the hell are you going to be teaching somebody else how to do something that you can't do? The story is quite horrible. Now you all know I have to bring a little bit of comedy to this I already know this child's challenging. I already know her mama and her daddy and her grandma and her uncle and her cousin and her third cousin removed know that this girl bad, according to them. I don't say children are bad, but this is what they said. They already know she's challenging. They are.
Speaker 1:It's not a surprise, so you know you could just came and said let me tell you what she did today and they probably would have believed you. It's the flicking off. For me, it's after you do the terrible damage. Then you flick them off like you pulled the old school bird on them, like you got to that point to where you had. You were so frustrated after the terrible events. You got to that point to where you just decided to just stick up your middle finger like that. That's where we're at. You had no other words. As a 20 year old woman, you had no other words. You couldn't get out a single sentence, not even a paragraph, a sentence, a phrase. You just lifted your finger and just said f you up yours. That's basically what you just said to a child. That's really. That's just where we're at at this point in the conversation. You just ran out of words. I just can't. But Florida, texas, y'all. I'm always telling you Through it all, I do place a little bit of blame not just on that teacher, but also the facility, because what did we do and I'm saying we as me working there, which I don't um what did we do, or what did we not do to help not get this situation to where it's supposed to be?
Speaker 1:Because, excuse me, where do we? How did this situation become what it is? Usually, by the time a teacher gets frustrated, there were signs before that they were already getting frustrated. So for it to escalate to this part. And I'm still trying to figure out when the hell did they leave the classroom. Like I'm trying to make the story, I'm trying to connect the dots and it just doesn't make sense. I want to know when the hell they left the room. It's just not adding up to me. But I didn't lost my train of thought y'all. Where did we not realize that this teacher was getting that frustrated to where she had to lay hands on a child, on somebody else's child, on somebody's daughter, because they did say it was a she? So where how do we get there and how do we ignore the signs it? It really concerns me that these are things that happen in the field and I get it Doesn't happen all the time but still, concerning when they're happening, when people say stuff like this can't happen, when people say things like this don't happen, they do, sadly enough, send this to someone that says stuff like this doesn't happen or this could never happen. No, it happens quickly and is definitely devastating, but on that note, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1:We all want our schools or programs to be the best and, although every school is different, all successful programs have the same fundamentals. Best Practices for High-Quality Preschool, afterschool and Enrichment Programs by Jarek Huff share standards to foster a high-quality program. These tips will help you put your best service forward, focusing on your children, families and communities. Best Practices for High-Quality Preschool, afterschool and Enrichment Programs by Jarek Huff is available on Amazon and Amazon Kindle. Welcome back team.
Speaker 1:I actually want to talk about tuition cost. There are programs that have extremely high tuition. There are programs that have, you know, low, more affordable or even free tuition, but I'm going to kind of, you know, be around the average in the middle with that, especially since, you know, since the pandemic, everyone has been complaining about tuition costs. You see it on the news a lot. You've been hearing about universal child care a lot because, at the end of the day, it is expensive. People are saying that my child's tuition cost equivalates to that of college tuition All these kind of talking points that I've been hearing about this and yes, like I said earlier, it is expensive. There are a lot of things, but as someone that runs these programs, I kind of want to talk about the other side, because I don't ever hear anyone talking about the other components of it.
Speaker 1:And the other components are we got bills too Shit. Our bills ain't stopped. Your bills went up at home, my bills went up at home, and so did this. School bills go up. And for some reason I feel like I never hear anyone really talk about the fact that inflation isn't just for, you know, at your home living life. It's affecting all aspects of our lives, because it is what it is, and I think people don't see that. So let me break it down. When families say oh my gosh, I don't understand what my tuition money is going to, it's going to bills, lady. That's exactly where it's going. You have energy bill at your home, we have energy bills at our school and no matter where you live, it always feels like the energy company is ripping you off. So it is what it is. I think like our last bill was like $1,900 for one month, like it was.
Speaker 1:It was crazy because we got to run the air. You know it's hot out here, a little bit of climate change. We hot in these streets and, according to requirements by the state, it can only be so hot in the building. So we have to run the air consistently all day long. We have a gas bill because you have a gas bill. We have a water bill. You have a water bill. Our water bill is probably higher than yours, I mean, unless you have like a pool that's consistently running or something, but our water bill because we're washing hands consistently throughout the day, so that requires more water. We are using the washing machine, cleaning stuff. Just lots of water is being used. Even with the gas bill, we have to have hot water. So you know if you live somewhere where gas, if you don't have electric, so with us we have gas for our water bill. So that's a thing. They kind of go hand in hand together.
Speaker 1:Trash and sewer People don't think about those. Those are other things. But even outside of the day-to-day things there are things like insurance, rent. All of these things have gone up. Our rent, our building rent has gone up. Our trash and sewer has gone up. The electric rates have gone up and people don't realize that.
Speaker 1:Then, on top of it, let's say you're a facilitator that offers food. Well, if you're offering food, you know when you go down to the local Albertsons, when you go down to the Walmart. You know, when you go down to the local Albertsons, when you go down to the Walmart, wherever you may go, you notice the food has increased. Well, that food comes from a supplier which tends to be the same supplier that a lot of other companies use. So guess what? Our food bill has now gone up. Then let's say, if you offer diapers, you offer formula diaper wipes all of those things have gone up as well, and that's just running a decent business.
Speaker 1:There are a lot of child care centers that are exploiting children. It's the truth and it's sad. But if you are a true school slash center that is focused on high quality, that is focusing on trying to be the best that you can, it requires money. A lot of people get into the business thinking, oh my gosh, I'm about to make a whole bunch of money. But if you're actually a quality center, you're actually really not making that much because a lot of that money has to go back in. So this is for people that are actually running quality places and not those trash places that are just exploiting children for their subsidy. So that's a whole conversation for another day. But when you are trying to give quality, that means you need supplies within that classroom.
Speaker 1:Paper is expensive. I mean even getting printer paper. I remember two years ago I could buy a box of paper for $22. I bought one the other day and that thing said 45. I said, oh shit. I said we about to start writing on notebook paper. All these things have gone up. I'm about to go outside and cut my own tree and get my own paper, because it really is getting expensive.
Speaker 1:Then you have like art supplies. You have books. Everybody's books have gone up. You know whatever supplies you need Blocks, furniture, cabinets, just whatever you need it has gone up. Rugs, lamination, laminating material I don't know why I couldn't get that out, laminating material All of those things have gone up. So when families are saying, I don't understand where my money is going, look around, everything up in here has gone up. Having to buy new computers, having to buy software. Remember back in the day when you could just buy microsoft word and it was like, oh, you're good to go. Now they want you to have a monthly subscription and you know people are always trying to get something out of you. So now you know programs have changed. All of those things cost.
Speaker 1:And then on top of all of that. You have staff that needs to get paid. We see we hadn't even touched on paying people that work there. All we have done is just building structures. We have done, you know, insurance all the things that people don't think about. Now let's get to paying people In 2024, people are now asking for more money in every single job that they do, and there's nothing wrong with that because the cost of living has gone up. It's just one of those things that naturally is going to happen. But with the pandemic has escalated that so quickly, everybody wants to get paid more. Some people feel that they are worth more than what they are Sidebar.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you guys a funny story. I remember this kid I'm calling him a kid. He was a grown man, but he was a kid. He just graduated high school. He had been working at Dunkin' Donuts for two months so this had to have been maybe about September, october ish, sometime around there and he was working part-time at Dunkin' Donuts and he interviewed cause we were looking for a cook. So normally I don't do those interviews, but for some reason I ended up helping somebody a cook. So normally I don't do those interviews, but for some reason I end up helping somebody out or something. I don't remember the whole story why I did the interview, but I end up doing it and I'll never forget that interview because one of my questions is how much are you looking to make? Like I go straight to it and usually I do a round of maybe two interviews but I go straight for it. So my question do a round of maybe two interviews, but I go straight for it. So my question was how much are you looking to be paid?
Speaker 1:This man, kid person, 18-year-old kid. He looked at me, dead in my eyeballs, so he took two of his eyes and looked at me in both of my eyes and we made eye contact and we looked in each other's pupils and he said I'm looking to make $33 an hour. And this is how he said it y'all. Well, I'm looking to make $33 an hour because I feel like that's what I'm worth. Because I feel like that's what I'm worth, sir, you are freshly out of high school, you're applying to be a cook where you have two months of part-time experience working down at the local Dunkin' Donuts, dunkin' them Donuts. And you looked at me and said that in my Oculus and I said I enjoy you. And he laughed and he said why? And I replied because you had the gall to ask me for $33 and I enjoy it. And you know what? I did not pay him $33. He definitely got way less than that. I mean super, super, super, way less than that. And I offered it to him and he still took the job.
Speaker 1:But people want to get paid more. I just thought I would tell you all that story because it was funny, because that man looked at me in my eyeballs and said that, and he said it clearly, he didn't have a rasp in his voice, he was dead serious. But people want to get paid more. Because people want to get paid more. And that's just starting out, with no experience. So what does that mean for the people that have the experience? What does that mean for the people that have been doing this for years? They need pay increases as well.
Speaker 1:Well, with all this money going out, you can only have so much money going out if there's not enough coming in. So now we have to raise tuition rates, now we have to find other ways to offset money that you know we're missing, to start paying staff more, because we want to keep them, we want to retain them. We don't want that situation. When you come every single day and if somebody new in the class, I totally get why that's frustrating. But that is kind of where we're at right now. So, yes, tuition costs is higher, yes, it is getting more expensive, but look at the same thing as well. People want to be paid more.
Speaker 1:Our bills are going up and, like I said, I don't feel like people are talking about that enough. Now, where is that sweet spot? Where is the solution for that? You know lots of places are, you know, trying to find other ways of funding it, trying to find, you know, other subsidy programs. We have to find a solution for that, because every child should have an education. Every child should have not just an education, but a high quality education, an education that one would receive on one side of town and they would get the same on another side of town. Everyone deserves that education. And how do we make that happen? And that's kind of where we're at right now and trying to figure that out. So there is that fight for tuition to not be so high, but then we have to pay people and our bills have gone up too. It just is what it is. If you know someone else that is going through this, if you know someone that just doesn't quite understand why tuition is going up, send them this episode so they can understand that we're not just out here just tossing money and we're not out here just being greedy. We're not out here just raising rates because we can. We're raising rates because our bills have gone up as well, and on that note, we'll be right back.
Speaker 1:I love sharing information with educators and program administrators. I have had so many successes, but also so many failures in my education tenure. I want leaders to know what not to do, but better than that, what to do. So I decided to write a helpful guide Best Practices for Center Program and Activity Directors. It's short and to the point. It's a compass to guide education leaders. These best practices will give you a foundation to lead your school program or organization. You can find best practices for center program and activity directors by Jerick Huff on Amazon or Amazon Kindle. We are back with our Reddit for this week. This one says advice from preschool teachers needed.
Speaker 1:I am out on maternity leave and they're trying to move me to the three year old room. I was in the older four and fives pre-k classroom. I'm very upset that they're trying to have this new teacher who was supposed to sub my class, then have her in the two-year-old room, but then when I got back I would get my class back. I'm so upset I said I think I'm about sorry, let me read that right. I'm so upset I said I'll think about it or I might just quit. They're saying they're not making these changes because I'm on maternity leave. But I know this wouldn't have happened if I never left. They just said they needed to make changes. Totally not fair. I've been there the longest and worked my way up to the class, or am I just overreacting? I loved the pre-k class so much I literally cried when they told me that they said it's too many changes in the class so they don't want to do any more moves. But I was the teacher there. Should I just quit and look for a new job? What would you do, girl? Let me tell you Girl, bye.
Speaker 1:And this is why I say this. I know it comes off really harsh, but this is why I say this. You are out. This is about the children first off. This is about what's best for those children. At the same time, you have to do what's best for you and you have to juggle both. If I was in this situation as a director, I think they're making the best call. I'm looking at what's best for the building and I say this all the time and I've said it on other episodes. The way I operate and maneuver is I do what's best for the building. The building means what's best for the staff, the teachers and the families. That is how I make every decision and choice Me as the director. I have to look at. This teacher is now going to be gone for some time. That means that there needs to be somebody else in there to continue a routine. The routine has to be consistent If somebody is going to step into that place. That's what I'm going to do. It's best for the children, so they understand who's coming every day. It's best for the families because they know who to expect that every day and in general, it's best for the staff. I might say for the families because they know who's coming every day and for the staff because they know whose classroom that is.
Speaker 1:I feel like old girl is being a little dramatic because you're basically having an adult temper tantrum because you having a baby, the school ain't having a baby and are you going to try to bring that baby in for free? Just asking. You had a baby and you said well, since I'm out, everything needs to revolve around me because this is what I want. It's not about what you want, lady. It's about what's best for those children, because when it becomes about you and not the kids, it's time for you to go anyway. So the fact that you sitting up on this internet, on this good old internet, on this day, having an adult temper tantrum about I'm not where I want to be are you looking at what's best for those children or are you looking at what's best for you? And if that is what is best for you, then maybe it is time for you to move on, to depart ways, to move on, martha, to go with God, to deliver you forward into this life. That is what I would say as a director, because you're not going to come in here and disturb what we have going on because you were gone.
Speaker 1:These children need this routine. These children need to know what's have going on because you were gone. These children need this routine. These children need to know what's coming and to put you back in the class, meaning you're going back in the class. So here's the crazy part about that If she comes back, she gets to go into that one room, whatever the situation is. I'm not sure what the staffing problem is. If she goes into that classroom classroom, that's only one change happening. But if you decide to go back to that pre-k classroom, there's multiple things happening because one now you're back, so that is now changing the dynamic of that class. And then to move the other teacher out to another room is now changing another, changing the status of another room.
Speaker 1:No, we're not doing this woman for your ego. No, no, maybe it's time for your ass to get on. That's where I'm at and I'm not going to move past it. And nobody's going to change my mind Because, at the end of the day, whoever that director is, dear director, you are doing what is best for your building. If someone has a problem with that, they can go, kick rocks. Adios, sirenara, hasta La Vista, whatever it is, they can go.
Speaker 1:I think she's overreacting, I think she's full of herself. I think she feels that this is my classroom and ain't nobody can tell me what to do in my classroom. Girl, we are all replaceable. Girl, we are all changeable and, at the end of the day, it's about these children. That's just how I feel about the situation, but I would love to know how you all feel. Am I wrong? Please let me know if I'm wrong, like send me a message and tell me if I'm wrong, because I I do understand what she's saying, but change is inevitable. Change is going to happen. Nothing is ever going to be constant and you made a choice to have a child, so the school has to keep going. It's it's almost crazy. It's just it throws me off that you thought that the world was going to stop and do everything that you wanted it to do because you was on break. Like I can't fathom that that people think that way. But obviously she does so.
Speaker 1:Whatever her name is, let's see, um, because you know you don't give your real names on here. So whatever your name is, lady person, I'm not gonna read her username girl bye, go sit down somewhere, go find you another job, go on to the local, indeed to the monster app, wherever you need to go to job, connect wherever and find you another job and move on, because if you are really this good as you claiming yourself to be, then somebody will hire you and everybody is happy, and my thing is, you've been on leave anyway, so they've been doing fine without you, girl. So you thought the school was going to stop because you was off, girl, now keep it going. I'm sorry that just really got to me because I think the arrogance that people have sometimes and especially with teachers that have been doing it for a while, they have an arrogance of you can't tell me and I know what's best and that really bothers me so I apologize, stop. Let me tell you what happened to me today.
Speaker 1:So we had our teachers do self-evaluations and I think I spoke about this on one episode before where we do the one through five. Five is exceptional. One is you know, you might want to be looking for another job. I rarely give out fives because five means you are absolutely perfect. That means you are on top of all new research. That means you should be a professor at a higher institution teaching this stuff. That is what a five says to me. Three and fours are good. Threes are like really good, like okay, you're solid, you're learning floors a lot. Fours are more like you know you are exceptional teacher.
Speaker 1:The only time I actually ever give out fives is whether you're in compliance with licensing or not. Either you are or you're not. So you get a five or a one with that one. There is no middle. You can't be like I'm partially in the middle, but I get a text message today from a teacher that says I have problems with my evaluation. Can I talk to you about it? I didn't respond.
Speaker 1:The director ended up calling me later, asked me a couple of questions and then I brought up. I said, oh, your teacher texted me today and asked me and she's like she's upset because I told her she can't give herself all fives. And I said that's really what this is about. And she was like, yes, I said okay, I'll call her. So I called her. I said hey, blah, blah, blah, how are you today? She's like fine, in my mind I'm thinking let's speed this shit up. It's after five o'clock, but let's get it.
Speaker 1:So she says, well, I just have an issue with my evaluation because I was told to lower my score. And I said, well, you know, fives are, you know, if you've been, you know amazing, consistently. You're a researcher, you're doing all these things, you're teaching at college levels, you're doing all this great. She says to me in my ear in her audio tone. But I have records for going back from the 80s of how good I am. I have letters of recommendation from the 80s, from the 90s to the 2000s about how great and wonderful I am as a teacher, and I think all of that should be held in account.
Speaker 1:And there's a lot that you all don't see. I'm at home every day researching. I'm at home doing all the things that you don't even know about. Now. I said to myself in my mind girl, you a whole lot. You was not doing that every day. Now why are you lying to me on this telephone Well, cell phone, on this telephone why are you sitting here lying to me after hours? But okay, I was continuing listening and she said I just think that if I feel like I'm a five, then I should be a five.
Speaker 1:And you know what? I was ready to get off the phone. You know what I said to her. I said, girl, if you feel like you were five, then put down a five, because this is your reflection and you put down how you feel. So when your director does a reflection on you, y'all can compare scores and then y'all can have the conversation. Oh well, I just wanted you to know and you should look at my portfolio. I have no reason to look at your portfolio. I am not your direct supervisor. I don't understand or know what you do throughout the day, am not your direct supervisor. I don't understand or know what you do throughout the day.
Speaker 1:And I was thinking on my mind, and I particularly really don't care, because you wasted my after hours time with this tomfoolery, talking about you mad because someone told you lower your score. I don't care, lady, but the reason why I brought that up was because it reminds me of this teacher that I feel like it's probably the same person. I wouldn't be surprised if it is me of this teacher that I feel like it's probably the same person. I wouldn't be surprised if it is one of my teachers when she feels like I've been doing this for so long, I've been here for so long, I have all this experience and you're just going to do what I say no, because that's not what's best for the building, but I'm going to leave it there. I'm going to leave it there. I'm going to end it there. But if you do want to go back to another episode where we did talk about evaluations and teachers have been around for a long time. That was another episode, so kind of go back and look for that. But other than that, I have nothing to say to this lady Girl go find another job.
Speaker 1:Well, that's all that we have for this week. So I want you all to have a productive week. I want you all to not kick a child. I don't want you all to slap a child and definitely do not want you to flip off a child. Other than that, I'll see you all next week. That's it for today. If you like this episode, it would mean so much to me if you left a rating review and subscribe to the show. I'd love to hear from you. You can visit my website, which is in the show notes, to contact me, and I hope you have a great rest of your week and speak to you all soon.
