00:00:40,072 --> 00:00:50,688
as you just heard this is a podcast for small business owners who want to leave social media without losing their clients it's also a podcast for folks who want to launch a business with no social media presence,

7
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:57,197
it's definitely not a podcast for folks who are trying to get off the societal grid and live a life amidst nature,

8
00:00:57,392 --> 00:01:06,550
if that's for you I love that but my punny name gave you the wrong impression and I'm so sorry this is a podcast about leaving social media.
