I didn’t expect to fall in love in all this unrest.

I’m going to be in Vegas next week. Am I allowed to pop by the casino and meet you?

The journey is part of the experience

Going on these audio trips with Don Hall is both brutally honest and hilariously insightful. Through his ups, downs, lefts and rights we can examine some of our own struggles and successes to gain insight into the shared human experience. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a little perspective while we hang on this spinning rock in the universe. Keep up the solid work DRH.
