The ads are just too much!

I’ve listened to this podcast since you started in the beginning. You have amazing content.
I run a 7 figure operational management firm so I get the ads produce revenue, I respect it!
However, I’m listening to the most recent episode and I swear it was 9 minutes of ads before you even started talking!
That’s crazy and I know its off putting!
Can you mix them in the episode instead of all in the beginning?
It’s turning me off as well as many others.
