So, friends, this podcast started some years ago as a personal hobby.

It has become a little more than that.

Over the years of this podcast, I have basically done all of the work of the podcast by myself, show notes, recording, editing.

But I'm grateful that I have a new partnership with Luke Clayton

Luke and his team does great, great work.

I'd love to commend them to you.
