*Note: This episode was recorded Monday afternoon, March 16. In the time between recording and releasing it, the CDC changed their recommendations, stating that groups above ten should be avoided. We now request that all groups cease meeting in person, despite what one moment in this episode recommends. Stay current with the CDC’s recommendations on their website: http://www.cdc.gov 

This is the first in an unexpected series of episodes in which Vick and Mike talk about why now, in times of uncertainty, your small group is more crucial than ever—and about the ways technology can help us be there for each other even if we’re not in the same physical room.
