The O. C. D. Stories is a podcast dedicated to raising awareness and understanding

around obsessive compulsive symptoms. I do this for interviewing inspired therapists,

psychologists and people who have experienced OCD. Welcome to the OCD stories.

Hey guys and welcome to the fourth and final special edition episode for October.

And in this one I invited Aaron Harvey, former guest on the show, founder of Made of Millions.com and fan favorite, to interview

And Crystal is the co-founder and head of creative at the agency, a good job and she is also a judge on
