Welcome to the After-On Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Reed.

engage your mind, and you'll be glad you did.

Especially this week when we'll be talking to...

The bad news is that I'll be taking a two month hiatus from posting new episodes throughout

January and February.

In fact, I have an incredibly exciting set of guests lined up for the late winter in

spring.

And that's actually part of the reason why I'm taking this hiatus.

I usually have maybe two to three episodes and various stages of production at any given
