  • Dan Schaefer

    I like Billy’s style. Even if he doesn’t agree with you, he remains respectful and listens to what you have to say. Being a guest on his podcast was a great experience. Billy creates a welcome environment where I felt free to share my thoughts and discuss them. We come from slightly different political persuasions, but we found a lot of middle ground … places where we can agree. I’ve subscribed to his podcasts and I’m currently going through previous episodes to catch up. 5 stars from me!
