>"So where to get the money, right? If I'm gonna take this to the next level, who's gonna pay for it? My beloved Amy's one of the most generous people in the world, but it wouldn't be right to hit her up for this. And Priscilla Divine, well, she's a very good friend of mine, and very generous too, but no, not for this. This has to be an independent operation.">"So instead, I actually took the time to reconnect with one of my early mentors. During this time when I was nowhere to be found on WWA TV, I caught a plane up to Boston and had lunch with my old boss Elizabeth. I thought it'd be useful to pick her brain for a while, but even more importantly than the ideas she shared with me was her Contacts list from her phone. So I got in touch with some wonderful sponsors, some folks who'd be willing to do me a favor..... and I learned about some EXCITING opportunities created by recent legislation. Like some pretty generous grants, for instance, that our current administration has made available for people like me, starting their first small business! So armed with this knowledge, and the backing and support of a few good friends in Washington, I put in an application for Federal aid that got fast-tracked. Being a small business startup in tech and communications, owned and operated by a bisexual woman with a degree in Women's Studies from a prestigious college, it turns out I was eligible for a HUGE amount of generous financial support!">"That's right: Colby's Corner just got a HUGE stimulus check, and we're taking things to the next level! And that means, not only can I afford to pay myself an entirely fair and reasonable salary, independent of my WWA contract, independent of any side work I do for Priscilla, but I've also hired some help to expand my operation. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce my intern, tech support, and junior investigative reporter, Mr. Ainsley Gossard!"
