Season one comes to a close. Thirty episodes in, and roughly 44 percent of podcasts never make it past three, so Ben and Richard take a minute to sit with that.

No guest this time. Just the two of them looking back at the year: what they took from every person who sat down with them, why this town keeps surprising them, and how a show they figured might reach ten episodes turned into a weekly habit they both look forward to.

Along the way, Richard's wife Emily joining his mortgage business, the case for getting people on record while you still can, a couple of business ideas that got away from them, Ben's pitch for why YouTube is a sleeping giant, and the $1,000 this show helped raise for Campfire Circle.

There is some talk of death. There is some talk of hockey. There is a 100 mile race Ben finally says out loud.

Season two starts in September. Send us the names of people who should be on it.
