First listen

Ted congrats on the Canvas Rebel feature. Good stuff! That was the first thing I saw when I opened LinkedIn then I thought “Dang I forgot to give him feedback on the podcast episode I listened to”. It’s not as fresh on my mind right now, but I do remember a few things that stood out. • You’re well spoken and easy to understand • The guest (don’t remember his name) had a great story of how he took an injury from that skiing accident, saw a need and filled it. If I remember he also talked about using women’s makeup to cover up acne when he was younger. That hit close to home because growing up I had terrible acne and did the same thing lol. “I really hope none of my boys notice” Lol. • Y’all went into being different and standing out which I’m 100% all about, hence why I wear scrubs being in Tech sales. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS DOING IT! It was a great episode and I’ll definitely listen to more and keep my eyes out for new episodes. If I can be of help in anyway, don’t hesitate to reach out. 👍🏽

Relatable

I’m so glad I discovered this podcast. As a husband and relatively new father in my early thirties I relate so much to the topics discussed in the podcast. Not only does it help me realize that others out there deal with the same things I do but the guests have many great tips and quotes to overcome them. This podcast helps me clear my mind and focus on what I can do to be the absolute best husband and father that I can be.
