I will review this as a 10+ podcast. Extremely knowledgeable relaxed hosts. All I want is to enjoy the conversation. Learn a few things. And laugh a few times. “Well, we’re here” is the most delightful perfection to start a podcast. Bob and Mike!!!!!
After three episodes, these guys have a loyal listener! So refreshing to hear statistics and facts that contribute building a successful program instead of hearing takes that get attention. Keep it up fellas!
Gotta leave a little room for growth. However, if I could give them a 4.5 stars, I would’ve done that. Such great content. They’ll work through the little kinks as they gain more experience. Keep it up X’a and O’s, Jimmy’s and Joe’s!!!
