You are listening to the Gritty Podcast where we talk about all things gritty. Life is not

easy. It never was and it never will be. A good life takes grit. Prioritize who you are

Lampers on it's a Q&A podcast. A lot of you sent in questions while we were on our hunt in Arizona.

We addressed that on an earlier show. We got through about half of those questions back in
