Sorry to start the week off on a somber note - but I've decided to step away from the podcast for a bit. With my personal life being crazy, it's been tough doing the research and recording new interviews.
I still love doing them and will try and release new episodes when I can. Thank you for everything over the past year and a half. This is goodbye....for now....
