Hello and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb Keith, and today I am joined by Scott Keith and Bruce Hillman. The Thinky Fellows is part of the 1517 podcast network of shows.

Those matching gifts were incredible.

And we look forward to your continued support of the Thinking Fellows and the 1517 podcast network.
