Wow! This is my 100th Episode of The Socket Podcast! When I set out to tape a podcast 3+ years ago, I really had no idea what I was doing or what it would look like. 100 episodes in and I am so proud of what Socket has become, the incredible people we have had on and the real conversations that have been had. We have laughed (a lot!), we have cried. We have contemplated life's challenges and life's triumphs. We have covered every emotion in the book and I sit here now feeling extremely thankful for this journey. Thank you to Patti Minglin, for joining me to celebrate this episode milestone! As always, her kindness, wisdom and humor shine through!
