As this crazy, challenging and exceptional year comes towards an end, I’d like to leave you with a couple of Best Of Episodes.  This week and next I’ll be taking a walk down podcast memory lane with some of the best exchanges from 2020 episodes.

As always if you have questions or feedback, email me at [email protected].  

I’ve got some exciting plans for 2021, I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
