What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now. It is our weekly business and marketing news of the week here on January 17th, 2025. I'm joined, as always, by my good friend, Chris Hansen. What's up, brother? What's up, Brian? How are you today, bro? Good. I'm good. Always getting right. Always right here in good old Greenville, South Carolina.
Home of the Swamp Rabbit Trail that we're on here at Social House, my company. The best co-working lounge in Greenville. If you're in Greenville, South Carolina, give me a shout out. Just Google Social House. We've got a social lounge and club and hangout and co-work, mixed-use space. It's where our studio is here in the beautiful downtown heart of Greenville, South Carolina.
You know, I don't give Greenville enough love. I'm trying to do that a little bit more. It's a great town. Come visit. You know, everyone else does. So we love you. Come on. We'll break some more tourism dollars to the city. It's a beautiful place. Come see the bridge. Come see the green trees, the foliage, and, you know, stop by and see us at Social House. We love our hometown.
What's up, brother? What's cooking this week?
You know, just still getting back in that New Year's rhythm, but doing good.
Yeah, New Year's, and we've got an inauguration coming up on Monday. President Trump. It's a pretty unique thing. It was like one other time. I forget. I think I read this a while back. I should know my history better. I know. But we're in between presidents elected, not elected, elected, in office. It's a pretty unique situation, right? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
I can't think of anything that's happened. Some random president that I should remember. Someone's going to give me some schooling over that. But Trump will be back in office. Whoever's asleep at the wheel will get out and we'll get on with this thing. Talk about policies, not about elections and everything else.
So, look, we do have part of the show notes because I thought it was pretty interesting, like all the business-related stuff that's happening in and around the inauguration. Some of the things, and today's episode is going to be pretty loose. Chris and I are going to kind of flip-flop on a few topics as we open up the playbook here on Right About Now. We're going to talk crypto.
