491 - PursuitPalooza 2024 AMA Part 1

You've heard us talk about PursuitPalooza on the show plenty of times because it's the one time a year we invite our Patreon supporters from around the world to join us for a weekend of insider activiteis that are expertly curated by Ryan and myself. This year, we decided to do a live podcast recording at our distillery where audience members could ask us any questions they want. I'm not going to ruin it for you but here's part 1 and part 2 will be next week.
