It's also a great time to go back and listen to Episode 9 , my full conversation with Chris.

Ep. 69: What if I am Wrong? Dec 02, 2018

Show notes

This week I share an original episode I created while traveling. I was away from the studio, so the audio quality is lower than usual. But I shipped it anyway.

Why?

I produce a new podcast every week.

That's the standard, and that's the rubric for success.

Sometimes the search for perfection gets in the way of "pressing send."

My hope is that this imperfect episode helps someone.

As always, thank you for listening!
