Incredibly helpful and informative!

For some reason I figured this podcast might be dry, but it’s far from it. I can’t say enough about how helpful it as been with the examples, stories, personal examples, etc. the number of times I have paused an episode to write things down or saved an episode and sent it to a friend/family is countless! The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable, but also very down to earth and relatable .
