I am so excited to bring you this conversation with my dear friend Karen Hyatt. I hope all of you have had a chance to watch her incredible documentary that just was released on Thursday. So many people said this couldn't be done. There's too much information to release in one two-hour documentary. And while that is true, Karen did an incredible job. Of course, she could not. Go deep on every topic because that's not what it's about. But I, I am so excited to have this documentary. It is incredibly well done. And I'm really excited for this conversation where Karen shared a lot of behind the scenes information where we got to discuss this topic in depth. I always love conversations where we learn new things while we're talking, and that definitely happened in this discussion. So I'm so happy to share it with you. Thank you for joining us. I am here again with my fairy god producer Karen. That's just what I've called her for this whole year. You've been doing this year and a half almost year something. It's been a while. I can keep track. But I hope that you guys have had a chance to watch her documentary. It is. Amazing. It's so good. It's exactly what we have been needing. So, um, so Karen and I actually had planned when we had our little short conversation to record our longer conversation for today, but, um, Karen wanted to take a little more time to get some clips. And also, I should say, some of you noticed I was outside yesterday. I am in a completely different space today. The lighting is not as good and it's, um, these are, I, I heard it in my pictures back up, but yes, the, um, the house needs some. Improvements, so some repairs. So I'm in a different, uh, makeshift studio in the meantime. So in case anyone was wondering why it was outside, why now. Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you. So, anyway, but, um, the important part is I invited Karen to come on. We this, um, documentary has been long awaited. You've been working on this for how many months now? 10 months. Yeah. In addition to editing my videos. Thank you. She has been doing this documentary. And I'm so glad. It was, I think it was since for my anniversary episode, I did the theological, and then I was going to do the historical, like the Joseph Smith. And I just, it, it was hard. I mean, it's
