Pat You Are Genius

This podcast is so needed. It’s highly entertaining but master’s level educational. I have gobbled up all the episodes and am listening to the Shark Tank Stumble episode again. This episode! It’s a valuable insider’s view. The hosts, Ray and Karen, are easy to listen to. They don’t sound preachy and they get the job done.

Where is everything?

So I like the show, I think I saw the eighth episode, but during the episode you said you have an entire season. I’m on your show and all I see is one episode…
