Our word of the day is fulsome.

Well, we have a good guest on.

All right, we're excited to bring on Brady Jolly from Jolly Heating, Air, Plumbing, and Electric.

He's the owner and CEO.

How are you doing, Brady? Doing great.

So Brady, you mentioned just before you jumped on that it's a family-owned company.

You purchased the company from your family in 2017, is that right? Yep, started in 1979 by my parents.

Plumbing only.

Very much grew up in the business, you know, entrepreneurial upbringing, and then was lucky enough to get in the business right after college.

And to be aware of the ways in which reality imposes constraints on you, not the other way around.

No, no, I mean, obviously I'm still continuing with the podcast, which has been, um, uh, just a delight to be involved with, just meeting so many great people, um, great academics on, on, uh, through doing that.

Um, I've, I've just put in, um, a paper, um, called Plumbing for Utopia, uh, a, a practical philosophy of, um, or pla- sorry.

Um, yeah, Plumbing for Utopia, um, a practical philosophy of play, I think.

Um, I, I can't remember what the title is now.

Um, uh, which I'm hoping is gonna be coming out.
