MORE THAN A PODCAST!

The CLIMB is much more than a podcast but rather a community of like minded and musically passion driven people.
The content is spot on with real life applications presented in a conversational manner between two friends sitting at a table grabbing lunch.
I always learn something and find myself laughing at some point which keeps me engaged.
I’m proud to be a CLIMB’er 😎
