Hello everyone! We wanna say you all have been absolutely amazing supporting us and this show. Luke and I wanna update you all with what's going on. We have hit a phase podcasting called the "burnout phase". 105 episodes and only took off Holidays. So much has changed since we first started this podcast. My 2nd child was born and Luke's 1st was born as well. We feel like we've exhausted everything we can talking about UPS as the main focal point and that's why we have decided to end All In The Delivery. But that doesn't mean we are done. We have been brainstorming to do another show where the main focus will NOT be on the company. Yes you will still here stories about our work day from here to there because that's where we come from. But it's almost like for 105 episodes we were shackled down because God forbid we say the wrong thing and then management comes after us. The next show that we have in mind, you will hear Luke and I raw and unfiltered and we are very excited for that! With that said, we've created so many friendships through 105 episodes that are full of memories, laughs and even tears throughout that time. We love you all! Here's to BIGGER and BETTER things to come!
