We've reached the end of season and I want to thank you for going Behind The Energy with me and some of the raddest in my circle. I have found this new project to be fulfilling, eye opening, and motivating through the recording and sharing of each episode. As a DJ and entrepreneur of 10+ years, I can tell you that so much goes on behind the scenes that only a select few are aware of. For some time, I have felt a deep desire to shine light on these unknown experiences with the hopes to educate and uplift others. I believe that a goldmine of knowledge comes from these conversations and that many can truly benefit from the stories, or even gain a higher level of motivation to make that next step as an entrepreneur. Anywho, I am done preaching to the choir. I just feel strongly about this, believe I could have benefitted from something like this early on, and have a genuine love and curiosity for connecting with others. A sincere thank you for reading, listening, reviewing, sharing, and giving me your honest feedback on the show. I'm always striving to make it a better experience for you and am already excited to begin sharing season three in the weeks ahead. Until next time, Parker Andriese
