Community ChatChatting About Podcasts I'm Listening ToCharlie "Tremendous" Jones (not Stephen Covey, as I misattributed) once said, "Five years from today, you will be the same person that you are today, except for the books you read and the people you meet." In a solo (non-guest) episode, I share some of the podcasts I'm currently listening to on a regular basis. I probably don't completely agree with any of them 100% of the time, but I find them worth investing my time in - and am glad to recommend them to you as well.
