Hello, everyone! It has been quite a while since I publish a podcast episode. So, I thought it would be only fitting to discuss why that is in this first episode in over a year!
You’ll also hear me mention Ben Gleib, who is a really funny comedian that I discovered through Ayisha Tyler’s podcast, Girl on Guy. I was super inspired by this guy’s willingness to really bring his ideas out and share them with the world.
Oh, one last thing: I forgot to mention in the podcast that I need to ask others to rank the podcast in iTunes. This is very important in order for the podcast to grow and reach more potential listeners, so please go to iTunes, rank the podcast, and post a comment while you’re there. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for tuning in!
-Eric
