Friday is upon us. Mazel tov for surviving another week. I’m  Isaac Saul , and before we jump into a very fun (and humbling) Friday edition, I wanted to let you know that the Tangle team has arrived in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, and… well… it’s as advertised. Gorgeous, rolling hills and woods, a quaint downtown, and great restaurants and spas peppering the area — you can feel the town’s embrace of its history of relaxation and recuperation.  We’ve got 48 hours until our matinee live show on Sunday afternoon, and  it’s not too late to get tickets . I am fully confident in saying you won’t regret it. Special shoutouts to our sponsors for the event,  The Dignity Index  and  Incogni , who helped make all of this possible! I’ll have more to say about these awesome organizations and products this weekend. Ad-free podcasts are here!
