Never miss an episode but one request…

I thoroughly enjoy the pod. I feel like I’m listening to my friends. Sarah, your insights are excellent but I beg you to please dial back the use of the word “like.” It makes you sound like a middle schooler. It sometimes shows up multiple times in a single sentence.

“All the good stuff is on the other side…”

Oh, okay, so listening through a POD stuffed with ads isn’t enough for you guys. You want people to pay you monthly ON TOP OF THAT to get to “all the good stuff”. Unsubscribed.
