EP – 200, Four Years of Fun and Learning

In this episode, I am taking a victory lap with my good buddy, Steve Owens, from the Fascination Street Podcast. In this fun conversation, Steve interviews me on my podcast. We discussed my motivations for starting this podcast and why I have kept this project going for over four years.

Steve also talks to me about my children’s book and where the heck the follow-up books are. We have a blast discussing the journies we have both been on, and we include some fascinating accounts of folks we have interviewed.

I hope you enjoy this conversation. Please like and subscribe to the podcast if you haven’t already done so. You can also check out both of us on YouTube.
