[0:00] Dear viewers, we're going to have a live audience Got Shot podcast and Q&A. As promised this 8th of August. How is that for promises kept? As promises were made. And the topic will be none other than we have a country to save. Now this Got Shot podcast started a year ago to be a place of unfiltered thoughts delivered in conversations by those among us who had been through the ringer in life. Be it through our upbringing, life experiences, whether it be in academia or hands-on career. We wanted to articulate thoughts no one wants to talk about or dare to. We want to create

[0:40] a place found nowhere else where people get raw authentic conversation. We call a spade a spade. And I wanted to weave into these conversations my personal thoughts on policies and issues, domestic and geopolitics, social and economics through my lens as a private sector entrepreneur, business, and corporate veteran. The objective was to make people look at issues in a completely different way and in the most possible stark terms. I hope we have achieved that. Got Shot has now turned a year old exceeding all my expectation with all with well over 11,000 subscribers and a

[1:26] YouTube viewership in excess of 1.3 million views a month. TikTok is 10 times that a week. Our subscriber base are increasing exponentially and showing no sign of slowing down. Got Shot, for lack of a better word, is now becoming a real voice of influence, the voice of you, the people. None of it would have happened about without you, the viewers and loyal subscribers. So this is a thank you to all of you for spending time with me and my guest spreading the word and growing this channel on a day-to-day basis. Absolutely organically from day one with the belief that we have a country to save.

[2:11] I want to reward our loyal subscribers first and as promised before upon exceeding the 10,000 mark to come on the God Shot Podcast on a live experience with a vibrant Q&A. So, here it is. If you are a subscriber, send an email to us at hello@thegodshotpodcast.com to book a seat for a live audience podcast on the 8th of August that will start at 2:00 p.m. We shall confirm the location somewhere in the PJ area in the written written email. Your attendance is absolutely free of charge. Please check the detail for the detail booking if you miss in this announcement. Please write down and

[2:59] specify your YouTube name for subscriber verification and for us to forward the ticket for confirmation by written email. Unfortunately, the link the seating are going to be limited.
