Awesome! Just a heads up… You’re kind of giving away the special announcement in the *topics covered" notes :wink:

Oooooo good catch! I changed it to keep the suspense up for everybody else :grin:

These podcasts are getting really good. :+1::+1: Think we’re pushing the boys to earn their keep? :wink: (p.s. – I see my question on the list! Woot!)
