  • Loved your Solo Mission

    I just listened to your 11/13/2025 episode that you ran solo. I know I’m 5 months behind…

    That episode was really good. Had you thought about doing a TEDx talk? I know you work a good bit of your thoughts and philosophies into your act and podcasts. But I do think there is an audience for you to talk about all the things you accomplished and how you navigated through it.

    I would pay money for that!
