  • Ep#69 the Stew
    Join in this discussion around the situation of being in a "Stew" or "funk" or whatever you call it. The crew, Greg and Allister, talk from personal experience about facing this situation head-on. Great conversation for the times we find ourselves.
    For those of you who don't know what "Stew" is we have a link to the definition. We don't think this is just a "Canadian thing," but just in case, we thought we should provide a reference.
