  • Great podcast and ….

    Love the topics, speakers and questions you ask Jen. Only one feedback I have is the intro segment is too long. One of the recent episodes i listened to, it was almost 8 minutes before the interview /talk with the guest even began. It’d be great if you can jump right in.
