Hey, what's up, guys?

This is Greg Anderson with the Endless Endeavour podcast.

I just wanted to give a little bit of an overview of what brought me to this place where I'm seated in this chair, speaking to this mic, and what has encouraged me to go down the path of of starting my own podcast.

So just to give you a little background about who I am, I grew up right here outside of Seattle,
