    Bridging The Gap with Brian and Lee-Introduction

    Brian Leeman (30) and Lee Johndrow (65) have been friends for many years. Each week they have got together for coffee and to discuss various topics which they are sharing here. In this podcast, they talk about where they want to go with things. Because of age and background, they often do not have the same approach to the topics they discuss. (Even finding out they don't agree! :) ) But, as friends, the goal is to be friends when the conversation is over.  Not a debate, but 2 friends talking about a variety of topics and issues.
