The Best
JT does an amazing job delivering diverse content. I truly enjoy the dialogue with his guests and how genuine and pure these conversations are. In a time where I personally question our ability to truly connect in a non electronic way JT gives me hope for empathy and understanding for each other. Well done sir, I have a cold one ready for you next time you make it to SW Florida! Cheers
