Obligatory Listening!

The content is amazing, there's a real pivot towards promoting positive and progressive change in the industry. I've listened and relistened to episodes where Terry gets many key figures to contribute on key matters... and the conversations are a lifeline if you have very little time for direct contact with other instructors.
