I've been listening to your podcast on Google while at work, but they come out weeks after your normal time frame. For example I listen to the April deals on radios the first week of May. Just found you on Audible, the time frame works better. I watch your videos, they also a have great content. The podcasts are good while I work Thank you.

Great podcast.
