  • Great!

    I'm really glad I found this podcast. I discovered it through hearing an interview on Jay Forrest's great podcast (which isn't on iTunes unfortunately). Really interesting guests and subject matter! It's all I've been listening to for a week. It's much better listening to this inspiring material rather than hearing about Trump! Thank you so much!
