This is awkward. I’m supposed to tell you about me being a guest on my own podcast, because who wants to follow Jason’s episode? Nobody, that’s who. I got outvoted and guess who kept coming up as the recommended guest? Me.

So I sat down with Hanz so he could interview me on this week’s episode of Negative Influence!

We’ll get back to our normally scheduled episodes next week.
