Hey Kevin! Hope you're doing well. I'm sure missing the podcasts and I'm just wondering if/when we can expect the next one or two? Always look and wait. I think your show is the best out there in this field hands down. You do a real decent job. You ask the right questions and it appears the guests genuinely walk away feeling like they had a great experience. Not to mention how much information I pick up along the way.

Hope all is good.
