SPECIAL DOUBLE-SIZED 100th EPISODE!

Today, we’re talking to me!  A while back, my friend Cameron Gott shared an interesting idea with me for the 100th Episode of the ADHD Essentials Podcast.  He wanted to flip the script, and interview me about what I learned over the course of doing 100 episodes.  Then, the boys, Nathan and Gavin, found out about it, got all excited for the 100th episode, and said they wanted to get in on the fun, too.  

So, in today’s episode, we have a double shot of interviews. First, Cameron interviews me about my journey to 100 episodes, and then in a flip of episode 96, my kids interview me about the things I do, and what it’s like to be in our family.  The two interviews are separated by a celebratory blast from a noisemaker!  (It was the boys' idea, I swear.)
