Let's take a quick pause to talk about something that is really hard, and that is trying something new. It can be pretty terrifying. I know when I launched this podcast and when Caleb and I launched Sourboys, it was pretty daunting just not knowing if it was going to work or not. But honestly, having a partner like Shopify has made the whole journey so much easier. Now Shopify, for those of you who don't know, is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world. About 10% of all e commerce in The US, in fact. From household names like Allbirds and Skims to brands just getting started. And you get a full design studio with hundreds of ready to use templates, AI tools that write your product descriptions and even enhance your product photos, and that iconic purple shop pay button, which is why Shopify has the best converting checkout on the planet. There's less abandoned carts and more sales. So it's time to turn those what ifs into with Shopify. So, sign up for your $1 per month trial today at shopify dot com slash c c c m.

Let's take a quick pause to talk about something that nobody really talks about, scammers and protecting yourself from said scammers. Now I travel a lot and I will not touch hotel or airport Wi Fi without Surfshark turned on. One time I logged into my bank account in a coffee shop without it and panicked the entire afternoon because somebody can get access to that if you're using public Wi Fi. But never again. Because now Surfshark is the first app I open, and here's why I love it. Because one subscription covers unlimited devices. So my laptop, my phone, my husband's phone, all of it. It runs on basically everything. PC, Mac, iOS, Android, smart TVs, even Xbox. And the email scam checker has flagged sketchy phishing attempts in my inbox more than once. And their strict no logs policy means none of your data is stored ever, which is incredibly important. And Surfshark is also the only VPN with coverage in 100 countries, and nobody else has hit that. So if you wanna reap all the rewards of having Surfshark, go to surfshark.com slash call me chris and use code call me chris at checkout to get four extra months off Surfshark VPN.

Alright. Let's talk about something a little lighter for a moment and that is blankets. Now I am a die hard blanket person as you guys know, but lately, I have had a problem. And it is that the second I grab one of my Lola blankets, one of my seven dogs or one of my four cats is on top of said Lola blanket, okay, claiming it's theirs. I literally cannot get them off it most days. And turns out, I'm not the only one because pets everywhere are stealing Lola blankets, which is exactly why Lola made a full pet collection. And I have it all, and I love it all, and so do my pets. Now the Lola Pet Bed has that same ultra soft faux fur, but with an orthopedic foam base that supports their joints. And the cover is removable and machine washable, and it's completely shed free. And it's OEKO TEX certified, so it's safe for your pet and your home. And my dogs and cats took to the beds instantly. And now the Lola Blanket is mine again, so thank you so much, Lola Blankets. And for a limited time, you can get 40% off select products with code c c c m at lolablankets.com. Again, that's lolablankets.com using code c c c m for 40% off. You deserve and your pet deserves to wrap yourselves in luxury.
