Summary:

Today I’m sitting down with an old friend, Amy Rasinski. We go way back to the medical days—back when the industry was a total mess and nothing like it is today.

We dive into her background with the plant and what led her to where she is now. Then we get into a bill in Congress that could offer a huge benefit to micro producers—but there’s a major caveat to make it work.

We wrap up the episode with a conversation about testing and why it's something we all need to focus on in the years ahead.
