  • Great way to keep ear on the ground

    Great podcast guys! Thank you for all that you’re doing. It was very empathic of you to do two back to back emergency podcasts.

    My most favorite one so far has been the one with Randy Kern. So many pearls of wisdom spread across.

    One request: Rick, you’re awesome but please get a better mic 🤗!

    Cheers guy! 🍻
