Podcast Update: I have good news and bad news for you:

The bad news is that it is nearly time for me to end the show and focus on other aspects of my career. The good news is that I still have 44 episodes to record and release so there are still plenty of stories left to tell that will take us at least to the end of this year and likely a bit farther.

It's been a great run and I'm looking forward to ending strong!
