Hey there, Percopton. You haven't heard from me in

0:02

a while. My son was born on April 8th.

0:05

He was a whopping nine and

0:07

a half pounds and his name

0:10

is Kalian Marvo Campbell. My

0:12

wife Ross and I are very excited.

0:14

We're also very busy. And that is

0:16

why you've not been getting episodes because

0:18

even though I worked with people to

0:21

get a buffer of guest hosted episodes

0:23

together before little Kalian showed up, the

0:25

case is just that all of those

0:27

people and myself were too busy to

0:30

make it happen. So there will not

0:32

be any additional practical stoicism episodes until

0:34

the 6th of May. And I know

0:36

that's a bummer, but you know what?

0:39

I know you all understand, for

0:41

one, and I appreciate that.

0:43

And for two, this is a

0:45

great opportunity to go and catch

0:47

up on the back catalog of

0:50

this podcast because spoiler alert, there

0:52

may be some very big changes

0:54

coming to the availability of that

0:57

back catalog, which relate directly to

0:59

me now being a father and

1:01

needing to kind of get this

1:03

podcast into ship shape form so

1:06

it operates smoothly, consistently, and importantly,

1:08

reflects all of the knowledge I've

1:10

obtained over the last few

1:12

years of doing this show. Some of

1:14

those older episodes aren't written the way

1:17

I would write them now. I've learned

1:19

more. And so I am considering a

1:21

reboot of this podcast. Now that doesn't

1:23

mean you're not still going to get

1:26

awesome, excellent stoic content from me, but

1:28

it does mean that that older content,

1:30

it might not be available anymore. Now

1:32

that's not going to happen today or

1:35

tomorrow, but it might happen. And this

1:37

is more than fair warning, I think,

1:39

especially given the fact that it may

1:42

not happen. But spend these next couple of

1:44

weeks while I'm away learning how to be

1:46

a dad and oh my God, let me

1:48

tell you, for those of you who are

1:51

parents, wow, I had no idea. For those

1:53

of you who are single parents, I don't

1:55

know how you have survived this. I mean,

1:57

it really is nonstop work. It's like having

1:59

a having a smoke alarm that is going off, you

2:02

know, a smoke detector in your house that you

2:04

can't quite reach, but the battery needs to be

2:06

changed. So it's chirping, but then there's a little

2:08

smoke in the kitchen and so now it's just

2:10

constantly going off and you just have to learn

2:12

how to hear that noise all the time without

2:16

letting it affect your mood or the

2:18

quality of, in this case, care you're

2:20

giving to your child. Wow, it is

2:22

insane. It's a big adjustment.

2:24

And while that last statement might make it

2:26

seem otherwise, it's an adjustment that I am

2:28

really enjoying. And it is going to take

2:30

the rest of this month and until May

2:33

6th for me to be in a position

2:35

to be back here producing episodes. So take

2:37

this time to enjoy the back catalog. And

2:39

if you have anything you need, just reach

2:41

out to me. I'm still trying to answer

2:44

emails when I can between diaper changes and

2:46

cranky diaper rashes and things like that. You

2:48

can email me at Tanner at no sages.com.

2:50

Thank you for your understanding. I'm sorry it's

2:52

taken me a week to give you this

2:54

update. It really has been that busy. And

2:56

I will see you again on May 6th.

2:59

Until then, take care.
