Hidden treasure

About halfway done with all the podcasts and have to say there are some real gems here. This podcast comes from a perspective of real life (family/trials and tribulations). Solo casts are just as good as guest speakers, and production values are on point. Think about the title of Ryan’s book Choice Point, that’s all we really have is the choices we make in the moment. Life is a series of these choices.
