Thank you to all who've listened to and supported the podcast over the last year, including the first sponsors Groover, Symphonic, and the Victory Theatre. And thank you to all of the great people who sat across from me with a microphone and shared their stories. I learned a ton, all of which will remain documented here for years to come. - Wes
