    I constantly listen to podcasts. When I was introduced to this podcast, I was blown away… almost hypnotized. I have listened to every single episode. Every single story. Many of them I’ve listened to multiple times. Inspiring, heartbreaking, enlightening and yes, sometimes hilarious. From start to finish, these podcast episodes will have a chokehold on you like they do me. 10 out of 10 here.
