Cedric is a great host

I had the opportunity to be a guest on Cedric’s podcast and it was a blast! He brings the energy, even from the beginning when he plays music to get started.

However, he also brings the wisdom. He comes prepared with questions and also asks vulnerable questions that will benefit his listeners!

Podcast and host worth checking out.
