Hey guys,
I've listened to about half of your show now and just wanted to really thank you for putting the time and effort forth to produce this podcast! It has been very helpful and inspiring to me. I've been developing iOS apps independently for 2 years now and only found this a few months ago. Keep up the great work ok!! I've also recommended this podcast to a bunch of others here in the san diego area.
