I never miss a podcast that has Sarah in it. “The Focus Group” & “George Conway Explains It All to Sarah” are absolute favorites along with those by Kara Swisher so when this episode had both Sarah & Kara I was beyond excited and it did not disappoint. I learned a bunch & hope you’ll do that again soon!
