Thanks ladies, new to the podcast. Love the guests and interviews

Poppa done ,

The world needs more Encouragement like this.

I love the chemistry between the hosts and how they reveal gold that isn’t just about achievements but character. This shows just how special, unique and valuable each one of us are and we all have something to offer the world. It’s also refreshing to hear stories from ordinary people just going about life doing the best they can. I always feel so encouraged listening to this podcast.

Mrs_Jeanette_Harris ,

This podcast brightens my day

I just love this podcast. Stories of everyday people and their ups and downs on this journey of life, made fun by either Beck of Ang trying to find “the gold” in their lives. It really has brightened my days listening to the stories. Keep them coming!
