No this episode is not about that addicting dirt water loved across the globe, although I’m sure my guest would love to sit down and talk with you about it for a few hours.

One of his favorite ways of investing is regularly meeting one-on-one with friends to have honest conversations about life’s joys and struggles. It’s really neat, and I hope you enjoy the listen!

English Professor by Day, Dragon Fighter by Night. My guest Megan Hartman is the chair of the English Department at the University of Nebraska-Kearney, and even though she could totally take down a dragon, she’d probably be more likely to befriend and ride it. She and I discussed the incredibly broad subject of English and shared ideas on why it’s important to be thoughtful, respectful, and attentive communicators with one another. It's super fun, and I really hope you enjoy the listen!
