LOVE this guy and love your Podcast!! THANK YOU!!
I’ve listened to A LOT of your podcasts, over the years, and this is probably one of my favorite ones! I loved Brad’s outlook on life and the inspiration he brings to celebrate the ‘small’ goodnesses that we all do in our everyday lives. So much kindness here, which is SO very needed during this time. Thank you so much!
