Welcome Dragons! Today we look back at the first season of the https://plainordinarydragon.com (Plain Ordinary Dragon) PODcast. We compiled some clips and highlights from each episode to share with you today along with some of my thoughts on each. I had a fun time editing this episode, and I hope you get as much joy out of listening as I did editing. This, however is only the beginning. There were too many great clips to get them all in on one episode, so next week we will finish up with part 2 of the retrospective. It’s always good to look back and see what we can learn from the past so we have more success in forging the future.
