🎙️ Behind-the-Scenes Note from Audley

One of my favorite moments in this conversation was how easily Garr laughed when we had to restart the interview because I forgot to hit record. That moment set the tone. No ego. No pressure. Just a real conversation about growth, resilience, and choosing to move forward even when things don’t go perfectly. That’s audacious living in action.
