Today's show is a little different and I thought we would try something new.

I can't believe we've done 10 episodes already and I feel like we have covered a lot of ground thus far. So I figured it might be helpful to take a step back, recap some of the highlights from each show, identify the common themes from each guest and connect those dots.

Given this is a test, I would really appreciate your feedback on whether or not this type of recap format is helpful to you or not. The last thing I want to do is waste your time, so please let me know what you think. www.VentureWithVirtue.com
