  • Great Start!!!

    I love your energy that breaks through the transmission barrier that most podcasters do not understand. Brendan seemed like the good choice for your first episode. His contribution allowed for a good flow of back and forth bewteeen you two as you started stringing together your questions that were seemless. I look forward to your next episodes and see how you conquer the different dynamics that each guest brings to the show.
