MATT HERE

Sarah, i asked chatgpt to come up with a load of questions for you to help it create a broad body of content for this page. thought it would be a great way to get this out of you 🙂

you dont have to use this or, if you do, dont have to answer them all. chatgpt gets a bit whacky – as you’ll see.

please let me know what you think.
