  • Superb

    I’ve just listened to the episode about pathways. I was inspired to write a review having listened to many many episodes on this channel. I have to say the style of conversation between the two it’s really natural. And engaging and something as simple as edges and pathways as a subject matter. It’s really interesting and useful. It made me think about my own Homestead what I can do to make improvements thank you so much and keep up your fantastic work.

The interruptions are definitely a distraction, and I indeed found myself pulled ou... more
