I mean, when I heard it, so it was December of 22, right?
Brad Barrett

And I think to me, the biggest thing that I took away then and even now is just, is seasons of life and time-budgeting. Those of the many things that Perkins talks about, that really hit home for me.
Brad Barrett
So if there has been a lasting change for me, that is absolutely the one.
