This is our first throwback episode and we picked one of our most popular guests ever, Ali Siddiq. After his second interview (linked below), many of you reached out about how and where to hear his first. Well after some confusing back and forth messages, I decided to post it here for your convenience. Even if you have heard this interview before, you are guaranteed to hear new knowledge this time around. I appreciate all of your feedback and support in requesting this episode. Enjoy!
