small business owners in our community,and especially the people who were rebuilding their
lives after the hurricane came and basicallydestroyed everything we knew in love in twenty
eighteen. And this journey has beensuch an amazing ride. I've loved getting

hearing their stories, celebrating their resilienceand their creativity, and you listeners have
been with me for every step ofthe way, and your support again means
so much. But as the sayinggoes, all good things must come to
(01:29):
an end eventually, and for me, it feels like the right time to
