Celebrating One Year of 321 Go! Aug 09, 2024

Celebrating our podcast's one-year anniversary, we reflect on the highs and lows of producing the show, sharing our favorite moments and the unexpected answers from guests that left lasting impressions. We discuss impactful episodes that pushed us beyond our limits, like the inspiring stories of Chris Nikic and Billy Mills, and share lesser-known gems that deserve more love. Looking ahead, we reveal our dream guests and personal aspirations, all while expressing immense gratitude for our listeners' support over the past year. Don't miss this heartfelt reflection on growth, gratitude, and the joy of unexpected journeys.
Thanmk you for listening! We could not do this without your support. Here's to many more start lines, more finish lines and many more years of 321 Go!
