Jealous Podcast

You may remember a couple of months ago we recorded a podcast episode talking about taking a break, and at the end, we encouraged you all to take a break as well.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a Ross and Rachel debate!
In case you hadn’t heard that one, we let you know that we would be resharing some of our FAVORITE episodes with guests we’ve had on the podcast (talking about entrepreneurship to enneagram and everything in between).
Mackenzie and Shelby were more than ready to sit back down from our break to discuss:
-Life and office updates while exposing what they’re jealous of
-The future of Jealous Podcast and how we want YOU involved
-What they learned through taking a break
Ready to hear these two back on the mic? Listen NOW!

We’ve had Thanksgiving, Christmas, a 5-pound weight gain, and Britney Spears freed since the last time we recorded an episode of the Jealous Podcast.
During our time apart from you, the Bing Bang Team added a new member to the family and you’re getting the honor of meeting him in today’s episode.
*Insert drumroll here*
Jon Schaeffer is our newest content creator where he is going to showcase our client’s stories through video. But don’t worry, there’s more to Jon than being the man behind the camera!
