  • omg Al i watch TWIST all the time 🙂 I never even noticed you. I’m usually working away but wow – will need to watch this again 🙂

  • Ha, Ryan! Thanks man. Was a fun episode (I watch regularly too). I’m actually in the Founder Institute now (one of their recommendations). Kicking my arse a bit (grueling and brutal)…but is a really great program…

    Cheers!

  • Hey Sull, no worries. I think I was having email issues around that time, as you’re not the first from December-ish to say they never got my email. I’ll re-send…
