Hit my Soul

So far these topics have hit me in my soul. I wish a new episode came out every day cause I feel like I need this in my every day life please expand the brand. Make It Count is a gem.

Make it count really hits home (run) for me.

I woke up earlier than usually this AM and this podcast link showed up. I thought phuck it, why not here what Phil and Jennifer have to say.

A LOT! They’re a great duo and Phil takes the lead sharing his cancer journey and he is a Stage 4 survivor of 7 years and counting! It really resonated with me because he was diagnosed the same age as me at 46 years.

Very good content and relatable with a good balance of info and humor.

I look forward to hearing more of the podcast and hope you enjoy it as well.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats

Phil DeGruy continues to reinvent himself and brings his experiences of life to help us all become better people. With Jennifer, he creates a humorous yet touching podcast that puts your own worries in perspective and helps refocus you on the important aspects of life. Highly recommended.
