I love this podcast!

I leArned about Echo at the 2018 Awaken conference and it was just what I needed for my fresh start. I feel like all my questions are discussed here and I want more!

I wish the sexual abuse one was working. There is no sound. Please fix!

Fresh focus

I had the privilege of being involved with a few of these episodes. But the reality is Ryan Becker has done a great job hosting and this is something that is needed.
