I wanted to do a short review of my first season of podcast interviews. You'll notice that I don't talk about every interview and I don't walk you through my thoughts on each interview. That would be boring. There were a few patterns that stuck out to me and I wanted to share what I observed. Along with that, I observed a few things about myself that I thought were funny to share!

Here are the guests who made big location moves in their career:
Brucee Denise Olds
Megan Metcalf
Jason Abdullah
Lisa Michaud
Jack Hagerman

Guests who made significant career decisions (and likely didn't realize it at the time):
Cheryl Petersen Pine
Ben Chi
