Returning guest co-host @StavrosBoss of the ESN Podcast (Eloquently Saying Nothing)In this digital age its so easy to throw a text out to friends and family to checkin but not really understand how they are feeling.

On this special “mini-sode” Mo and Stavros ask these questions to get to know each and push beyond the surface.
