I've also been working with an amazing designer to help freshen up our podcast branding. Exciting stuff!

Now, if you can't wait, here's a great past episode for you to listen to. This is my 100th podcast episode, in which I share Motion Hatch's origin story and all the lessons I've learned from turning my side hustle into my full-time job.
