Today's guest might be one of my favorites from the season, but I don't pick favorites. We are chatting with Amanda Gulino today who I actually met. While we were in Denver, together as two strangers coming together from across the country, um, as part of Denver startup week, we were two of the 50 ambassadors for that program. Um, and I've been stocking Amanda ever since. So this is great. And to get to talk today. So Amanda, thank you so much for coming on and tell us about your side hustle.  Amanda Gulino: [00:01:02] Of course that might've been the best. Intro of all time, I've also been talking to some similar startup week. It what dannie fails to mention is that we met on the first day of Denver startup week and this kind of, it was maybe a bit overwhelming as an introvert, a bit overwhelming and yet awesome. Lunch at this great, uh, coworking space. And then. You just kept saying stuff. The whole time we were at startup week, I was like, I just need to know her. I need to connect with her more. I have to. Um, so this is a really fun way to come together. Um, okay. So a little bit about me. So, uh, my name is Amanda. I'm originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was born and raised there. Went to college, they went to LSU. And uh, that was really, that time in my life at college was really what unlocked a passion that I didn't know I could have and I didn't know I could do for work. And that was all about people. And, and. You know what I was thinking this morning about like why? Why am I doing all this work? Like the bit of a stressful morning and I came back to like what I'm on a mission to do and that at the end of the day, that's to make work something that's enjoyable for people and doesn't suck. Like that's really it. Why I'm doing this, because we spend so much time. So much of our waking hours working, we should be getting some enjoyment out of it. And the best part of that is when we're enjoying it, our bosses and our managers and our clients or whoever, they're going to be getting more good work out of us and everybody wins. Right? Um, so, so that's really what I'm on a mission to do. Um
