Rob Marsh: I am Rob Marsh.
Kira Hug: I am Kira Hug, and we are the host of the Copywriter Club podcast. We are the host who did not introduce ourselves for 350 episodes or at least 340 episodes. We did not ever introduce ourselves.
Rob Marsh: We fixed that. We're here. This is just a conversation between you and me, Kira and Rob, and hopefully if you're tuning into this episode, you're interested in some of the updates that we have coming up, but we also want to talk a little bit about what's going on in the economy and the industry and what's working for people right now. We'll get to that in just a minute as well. Kira, let's kick this off. I was talking to our team just the other day. We literally hit 80 degrees for maybe the second time this year a couple days ago, Summer finally started here. Let's just talk about our summer plans. What's going on with you this summer?
Kira Hug: Yeah, I will have some travel in July. I know you and I are both traveling in July and my travel includes actually staying within my state and staying at a couple cabins in Maine, in the woods and just having more of a rustic experience. I know you have a trip. I think the same week I'm gone. I don't even know where you're going.
Rob Marsh: My daughter is playing in Junior Olympics water polo tournament. We are going to turn that travel into a little bit of a beach vacation. We're going to spend a couple days at the beach, maybe check out an amusement park one day. My kids are older. The Disney Land, Disney World type thing doesn't really work for us anymore.
Kira Hug: That's so sad.
Rob Marsh: Rollercoasters are still fun and paying for overpriced amusement park food, we might do that one day, but I think we're going to spend a lot of time sitting with our toes in the sand listening to the waves crash on the beach because we don't get that here a whole lot in Salt Lake.
Kira Hug: Yeah, that'll be nice. It's really sad to think that they've already outgrown Disney like that. I don't know, that crushes me.
Rob Marsh: It happens, but it's good. Different things, different strokes for different times of life. It'll just be me, my daughters and my wife and I will be sitting on the beach reading, splashing around a little bit and having a good time.
Kira Hug: What is your vacation style. When you're on vacation, some people are really well planned and they have every moment planned, lots of activities. Some people just kick back and just want to chill on the sofa with the book.
Rob Marsh: I'm the chill. I do not love to go into it with tons of plans.
