A really well done podcast. I listened to several shows before our trip to get ideas of places to visit, and I keep listening so I can have a “mini vacation “ during my drive to work.
Backyards of Key West is a weekly staple in my podcast listening. I love listening to the different business owners and people of Key West and it always gives me new ideas for when I visit. Also, always have to stop in to the Backyard of Key West store to grab some art and say hello to Mark when I’m in town!
I like listening to Mark talk to business owners from Key West, many good stories. Unsure about NFT conversations but I don’t want to criticize here. At some point it would be interesting to hear about Mark’s history being a day trader in New York and how he dealt with the SEC. All in all a solid podcast when it stays in its lane.
You have introduced me to parts of my favorite place on earth that I didn’t know existed. My KW home is full of local art, who I introduced myself to with “I feel like I know you from Mark’s podcast”.. always a warm convo starter.
I have found some of my favorite island people through the BYoKW podcast.
Thank you and keep it up please!
Love your takes and pod Mark. Some critique.. more from your guests, a little less from your commentary. No offense. I want more of your guests less of your opinion. Just my take. Still 5 star rating for me.
