Jocelyn Sams: All right, guys, we are excited to talk to you today. We have actually talked to you before on a workshop that we have done, so that is very exciting. You guys are taking massive action. Shane Sams: Massive action. That's why you're on the show, by the way, that's why you got the invite, because we're like, every day Jocelyn goes, "Have you seen this Carla and Al? They are posting every day.
