Hey, hey everyone. Welcome to the VO Boss Podcast and the Boss Superpower Series. I am here with my lovely host co-host. I don't know Host and co-host. Look at you, Lau, I called you my host. 

00:57 - Lau (Guest)
I could be called first things. I'll tell you what, right yeah. 

01:01 - Anne (Host)
I'm here with my lovely co-host, Lau Lapides. So wonderful to see you. It's been a little bit it has.

It's awesome to be back. I'm excited 2025. 

01:11 - Anne (Host)
