So different hobbies over the years that I have tried, some that I still do: gardening, making pizza, making bread - like so many different types of bread - and then now sourdough. But I relate to you guys a lot with that. And then there’s there’s plenty of things that haven’t become part of my job. I’m definitely one of those people, you know you and Emma have talked about this, how you started something as a hobby and then it kind of turns into part of your job. And I’m so excited that this is what we’re chatting about because I think about hobbies all the time.
