Scott Welsh: Too long, but I'm glad we're here today. Jason Pyles: I know, it's great. Rob Booker: There are some listeners who don't know that we did, far too few, but about 150 episodes of a podcast together called The Rise and Shine Podcast, and I think we would all agree that everyone should stop listening to this right now and go check that out. Jason Pyles: Yeah. Scott Welsh: Just stop. We can wait. How long, 153 episodes? We can wait a half hour. We'll just sit here. Jason Pyles: Yeah, they were short form. Rob Booker: They could play them on fast forward. Jason Pyles: That's true. Scott Welsh: Exactly, yeah. Rob Booker: That's spectacular. Our guest today is Scott Welsh, and Scott, what's your website? Let's just get that out there right now. Scott Welsh: It's ScottWelsh.me. It's S-C-O-T-T W-E-L-S-H.me, at me. Rob Booker: Alright, everybody, go check it out. Scott's a good friend a longtime friend of the show. Not a first-time caller, not a first-time listener. We're glad to have him here. Jason, we got a question from a listener, did we not? Jason Pyles: Mm-hmm (affirmative), yeah, we sure did. We got a question from Tyler. I can read it right now. It says, Hi, Rob, my name is Tyler and I recently discovered your podcast on iTunes and have been devouring episodes on my drive to work. I have a question for you about trading platforms. I'm new to this and I'm wondering if you have a recommendation for a platform. I've done some research and there are many to choose from. Some cost money, some allow trades in certain markets only, etc.. Do you spend any time in any episodes discussing this? Appreciate your thoughts. Tyler. Rob Booker: Well, Tyler, we do. We talked about this in episode 557, which is the one you're listening to right now. Scott, do you have any- You and I have used about every platform there is.
