    AGL 032: The Engagement Epidemic

That last statement may seem odd […]

    AGL 029: Some Things Are More Important Than Work

    I’ve been noticeably absent from the podcast for the past couple of months, so where have I been?

I made it a point to spend as much time visiting him as I could. I decided to put the podcast […]
