    Welcome back to The Thing That Gets You To The Thing! This was the last episode we recorded before taking an unexpected year and a bit long hiatus. We've reset the format to bring you a more structured, discursive approach to how we break down the episodes. Please enjoy this episode and let us know your thoughts as we set ourselves up to launch back in. And as our friend Cameron once said, "a lot of people are gonna want us to fail. But that's because we're the future, and there's nothing scarier than that"
