Brodie and Co,
I’ve now listened to all of your podcast. And I just wanted to complement you on how you’re progressing.
I really want to compliment Co! she’s always so positive. Like she said on this last podcast that she has a problem with direction, but that she was gonna get it, she was gonna conquer one day. I love her optimism.
Brodie is so great at finding “buried treasures.”
He digs into things of interest that nobody has ever heard of. He should be a reporter! Oh wait! He is! 🤣😂
Keep up the good work!
Ps
My favorite season is fall in the mountains!😉🥰
