Hello Everyone. It is with a certain amount of nervousness that I present this episode. You see, I’m away on holidays but I didn’t want to leave you hanging. What to do?

Hello Everyone. Well, we’re halfway through the year; I hope you are all doing well. Things are going well here and I’m increasingly hopeful that I will have an announcement in the near future. I do know that I have holidays coming up and I’m really looking forward to that. I’m very excited to have Phil Rossi as my guest on this episode.
