Episode 003 | “The Host with the Most”

Really, this podcast is for our lifers. For the folks that not only put in the work that’s required but the ones that pursue their dreams relentlessly, that see no end or affected by glass ceilings. When we sit down and do this podcast, our only hope is that we touch somebody to keep going and make someone realize that there is normalcy in small people chasing dreams that are much bigger than them, or even much bigger than the people surrounding them can conceive. That’s why it’s so important to me that we talk about life (both good and bad), that we talk about things that are taboo or “cutting edge”, if you will. This is for the LIFERS.
