Kevin Choquette from @ravinbuilders
Final stop in Vegas! That’s right, we’re still here! Well, the podcast is anyway, and last but absolutely not least we had Kevin Choquette from @ravinbuilders stop by for a chat. We were so pleasantly surprised with the conversations we had in the middle of a busy home show and our time with Kevin was no exception. The connection was instant and we had an incredibly vulnerable conversation that was (unfortunately) mostly not recorded. We will have him back on the pod soon for redemption. Thanks again Kevin.
