Customer Reviews
Informative and Inspiring
I’ve been a listener since day 1 and I still get excited every time I see a new episode drop. The latest episode with Travis Harper was especially powerful. By the end I was smiling because it reminded me of all of my favorite MT memories and why I love this activity.
Keep up the great work!
Host a regional
Have all these schools that need funding ever considered hosting a regional tournament?
Our school has a budget of $0, so it’s difficult to hear schools talk about how difficult it becomes when they run out of funding.
Good
Nice!
