    10:46
    So after doing the daily for nearly 40 episodes, I'm moving to America, which means I need to take a bit of a break to move my entire life across the Pacific ocean. I will hopefully be back in some capacity after the move, but it will depend on my job situation, living situation, etc. Make sure to follow me to get updates on what's happening! Thank you all so much for tuning in. I'll be back!Find me online:Blog: https://verdantgrowth.blog/Live Eco Subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/LiveEcoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC24IiwM0BPQ-_3DVz2KnuVwTwitter: https://twitter.com/VerdantGrowthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/realverdantgrowthInstagram: http://instagram.com/verdant.growthReddit: https://reddit.com/u/RealVerdantGrowth
