Fun and informative
My all time favorite podcast! As a planner in the Midwest for 10+ years I am obsessed with this podcast. It feels like I’m listening to a few industry friends and I can’t believe how refreshing it is to be able to relate to them and learn from them at the same time. Keep up the great job you two!
