The Conversation Network
Hello friends! I welcome you to “The Conversation Network” podcast, a new space for my guests and me to share our stories about how we are all just doing our best to get through this business called life one caffeinated beverage, one streaming service, one food delivery order at a time. Think of it as catching up or reconnecting with an old friend. We hope to give you entertainment that will make you laugh, smile, and feel seen. Or at the very least, give you some background noise for your drive, airplane ride, or wherever and whenever you can fit us in. We’ll be talking about (almost) anything and everything. We thank you for stopping by and hope you will have some fun with us.
