  • 166 UPDATE: WE'RE TAKING SOME TIME OFF
    Feb 3 2025

    Hey friends, we are going to be taking the next couple of months off from doing the podcast. We've been doing the show for four years. What a thrill it has been with all the tremendous guests we've had and all the fun content we've been able to put out. It has truly been a joy, but life has taken some different twists and turns and so we'll be taking these next two months off to discern what the future of the podcast is supposed to look like.

    We'll check back in with all of you in about two months! Blessings!
