    This is the podcast I look forward to every time it hits my feed. I also have learned quite a lot for these four talented people. Except Tim. I’m going to need his email address for my hate mail :)

  • Love the honesty and sharing of triumphs and fails. So relatable. Having followed Ben 20 years ago in the CF space, it's great to know even highly visible folks have the same problems as us little people.

    Keep it up!
