Firewalking, Make Your Mark

I just had the honor and privilege of being on the "Make Your Mark Podcast" with Master host: Kay Suthar.

Kay is not only at the top of her game in the podcasting space, she is an amazing and beautiful human being.

We had such fun being on her show, and it was like flying 1st class for the first time, flying (podcasting) will never be the same again.

If you get a chance to be a guest on her show bring your "A" game because when the mics go "live" she gets serious.

Needless to say, I would come back on her show in a heartbeat.
