Find out why I think this is one of the most annoying times of year and how I approach it. Thanks so much to my friend Darrall Dukes (@Beauxfl3x on Instagram) for your time and input and suggestion to make this episode. This episode wouldn't have happened without him.

Happy New Year! Time to continue to grow and improve in 2020!
