Customer Reviews
I love everything I’m hearing - please come back!
I just discovered this podcast and I love hearing all these beautiful stories! It looks like the show is on pause but please come back soon!
The Brewer
Fantastic. This story made me question why we often label blue collard workers as “less than”. They make an honest living providing for their family, still we often get these stories of blue collard workers telling their kids that they shouldn’t have to do such physically straining labor. I’m grateful to have heard Jon’s story - this gave me perspective on creating a job you care about! 💜
