Closing the Gap
Please disregard the one & two star ratings, that was any accident. I’ve listened to many of the Closing the Gap podcast & have enjoyed the diversity and applicability of the topics.
Chris is a great podcast host!
Chris is a great podcast host! Terrific interviewer who ensures that those being interviewed look good, as opposed to trying to shine the spotlight on themselves. Prepared well for the interview with me and as a result, the conversation was smooth and flowing. Highly recommended!
