  • Though Provoking Episodes

    Howdy! PA volley here... The most recent episode featuring Laura Kavanaugh spoke to my soul. I’m currently trying to do her job at a VFD in NW PA, and she provided a lot of great insight about resource acquisition and the need for better budgeting. I can’t wait to add this to my weekly podcast schedule!
