Thank you all for flagging the audio issue after the 33 minute mark! We hit a processing glitch on the backend export. I'm pulling the video down temporarily to fix the track sync and audio so you get the full, high quality conversation Hope and I actually had. Stand by-the corrected version will be right back up shortly!
