Hi, it's Jesse, the founder of Max Fun coming to you from the microphone at my home office,

where I am socially segregating. So we promised you a Max Fun drive this week, but things

haven't exactly gone how we expected. So given the pandemic, we're going to postpone this year's drive.

Events are still fluid, so we're hesitant to give you specifics about new dates. Right now,

we have late April penciled into our calendars. We'll keep you posted about that.

As it stands, a lot of our drive machinery was already cranked up. So for one thing, you might hear

a reference or two to the drive in our shows, which might have been recorded before we made this

decision. And here is some good news. There's a bunch of great bonus content available for all of

our Max Fun members. If you're a member and you miss the email with instructions on how to listen,

check your spam folder or log in at maximumfund.org slash manage. Also at maximumfund.org slash manage,

you can change your membership if your circumstances have changed. We know this is a tough time for a lot

of people and we understand. You can also go to maximumfund.org slash join at any time if you'd

like to become a member. During the next couple weeks, what would have been the drive? We are going

to do our best to be extra available to you. We've got some streaming events planned, some social

media stuff. We know a lot of folks are isolated right now and we want to help provide comfort in

the best ways that we know how. You can follow us on social media and we'll let you know what's up.

During this tough time, I have been feeling really grateful for my community of colleagues here

at Max Fun and for you, the folks who make our work possible. Goofy as that work may sometimes be.

Stay safe out there. We're thinking of you.

Hello. Before the podcast episode starts, probably I just want to warn you that today's episode is

going to be a little bit different from normal. This month, we have been working with a podcast

consultant, Melanie Handcatch from a handcatch PR and she has made a few changes to the format.
