Happy Hour This Week is also sponsored by Quince. Check them out at quince.com slash happy hour, all lowercase. The temperature, at least where I am, is sky high right now. And in the summer heat, you naturally want to wear clothing that is lighter and breathable. Things that are easy to wear, but still look put together. And Quince is great for exactly that. With breathable linen and soft organic cotton, it's just well-made clothes using premium materials without the usual luxury markup. For instance, Quince European linen pants and shirts are the perfect warm weather upgrade, starting at just $34. Lightweight, breathable and comfortable, but still looks great. And their t-shirts are super soft, and their lightweight cotton sweaters are perfect for cooler summer nights. And they go beyond just clothes, so also check out their ranges of upholstered sofas, ceramic cookware and premium bedding. Quince works directly with ethical factories to cut out the middlemen, so you're getting premium materials without the usual brand markup. And you've got some Quince stuff, right, Chance? I do. In the past, I've tried things like their hoodies and their t-shirts, and they've always been fantastic. Most recently, I got the Packable Expandable Travel Tote from Quince, and it's also been great. And it's a great example of their non-clothing products that they offer, like you mentioned, Mayo. It's made from high-quality materials, and it's versatile, so I can fit a lot of stuff in it. And it even has this clever expanding feature to make it even bigger when you do need some extra space. I used it for my trip to WWDC a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. So Quince gets a big endorsement from me. Elevate your summer wardrobe.

Happy Hour This Week is also sponsored by Keeper. Check them out at keepersecurity.com slash happyhour. On the modern internet, we all have so many different username and passwords to keep track of. Be honest, how many times have you hit that forgot password button? We've all done it, and more than we really like to admit. And that's why you need Keeper. Keeper is a password manager that creates strong, unique passwords for all your accounts, stores them securely in one place, and logs you in automatically across all your devices. So you never have to remember, guess, or worry about your login credentials again. And it's all so simple with features like Autofill and Face ID support. Logging in is practically automatic. I actually use Keeper at my day job at work as it lets us easily share credentials across our entire team. Just last week, actually, there was a sensitive account password that I needed. And rather than have to message and bother someone else, I could independently and securely log into it through my Keeper account. Keeper helps you stop thinking about passwords altogether and just get on with your day. Right now, Keeper is offering our listeners 60% off personal and family plans at keepersecurity.com slash happy hour. This offer is only for podcast listeners.
