Much from the podcast! Please don’t stop producing it!
Learning so much
I am a new member of the OMA and really enjoying this podcast. I am learning so much and I’m inspired to seek my ABOM certification.
Please fix editing issues
Great podcast when I can listen seamlessly.
Two of the three episodes that I’ve tried to listen to have major editing issues where the audio starts over multiple times. This is very disruptive.
