Episode 9 is in the books, and we were all over the board! The joys of podcasting and embracing the conversations. We start out by talking about some exciting news, which is we both were guests on a podcast! Brittany got to chat all about life, the outdoors, hunting and fishing on the "She Goes Beyond" podcast. Jeremy also then got to appear as a guest with the guys from M42 Adventures that will release in a couple weeks, talking about life, and his journey in business, marriage and the outdoors as well with some cool opportunities to follow with the guys there. The conversation flows through the episode with plenty of fishing talk, work and beyond but eventually leads to getting a bit deeper about life and some plans to continue to get more vulnerable and personable as we get more and more comfortable with our new platform and enjoyment of podcasting. Stay tuned for some fun and exciting things coming ahead, and potentially.....a little more of an organized way of podcasting to come....potentially ;)
