I want you to know Katie because she has gifted me with one of my most consistent friendships for the last ten plus years. Through school, jobs, moves and pet adoptions, Katie has been at my side. She is never afraid to call me on my bullshit, but she also often reminds me when I’m being too hard on myself. Her intelligence is always impressive, sometimes intimidating but never makes me feel less-than, in fact she’s basically my in real life fact checker on all topics and I love our hours long tangents and vent sessions. I would do anything for Katie and I know she would do the same for me. I know this because I have often put her in this exact position like right now, in making her come on the podcast.
