    Great episode! One of my favorites so far! Hope you can go back and get the last part re recorded. He deserves another hour or two. So interesting to hear all the great stories. Especially the Lil John stuff, can’t wait to hear the John Robinson stuff. You and Carrie are doing a great job. Keep them coming while our older industry leaders are still able.
