Inspirational

Lucas has an enthusiastic approach to life that is contagious. The people he interviews are living their dreams and growing. Which is what we should all be doing. I always feel inspired and driven after listening to his podcasts. And hey! He makes a great cup a joe.

Fun!

I happened upon the Black Sheep Lounge while in welland for work recently, and so also happened upon this podcast. I enjoy the upbeat tone and the variety of different guests. Keep it up!
