Show notes

In this episode, I chat with my colleague and good friend, Chad Belford. This is the first time in almost two years that I have sat down with a guest in person to break bread and chat on the show. We wrap up 2021 on a personal and professional level and announce our TOTY (Tool Of The Year) for 2021, as well as an honorable mention. It's a great episode with even better in-person energy and vibes. This episode started at First Watch over some good eats and had to be moved to his dining room because of noise issues. Regardless, this conversation happened because two great people broke bread together. Buen provecho!
