August 31, 2022 - This podcast has given me an opportunity to connect with some amazing people and is now giving me some amazing opportunities to attend events.  Over the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we connected with people via the computer but now that the world is beginning to open up, we are getting to meet these great people, see them live and hang out in person.
