James Volpe is a partner at MTS Transport, a carrier working with large entities to build and deliver high end office furniture.  James has lived out his own hero's journey, from foster care to freedom, and to this day holds the value of true relationships close to his heart.  His ability to walk away from profitable deals because of unhealthy dynamics is admirable, as his sights stay set on deeper, long-term connections.  It was a sit down at The Pit and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. ⬇️ SOCIALS AND SITES ⬇️

Less Than 12 Parsecs - The Fastest Star Wars Podcast In The Galaxy! - #0100 - One Hundred Episodes!!! So today is the day, a milestone has been reached...  Today is the 100th episode of Less Than 12 Parsecs! Today I look back at our first 99 episodes with that classic broadcasting short-cut, a clip show!  Can I do it in under five minutes?  Actually, no, today I clock in at just over six minutes, but it's the thought that counts! If you haven't noticed it by now, I've changed the show logo.  This new design is from James Volpe.  Please check out his work at www.facebook.com/VOLPEdesign And as I mentioned in the last MiniRig MiniEpisode (What? You don't know what a MiniRig MiniEpisode is?  Then you need to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, or you favorite pod-catching app, as so not to miss these fun little one minute episodes!), today we are offering t-shirts! I've set up shop on TeePublic, where you can get a shirt with the new logo, OR, if you like to rock it old school, you can also get the classic design as well!  Check them out at...   New Logo - http://tee.pub/lic/UHe6R_OpNPE Classic Design - http://tee.pub/lic/ShJC3iIKwRc   Looking ahead to the next 100 episodes, there is so much more I want to do.  But sadly, my lack of free time prevents me from accomplishing all of these goals.  (If I had free time, I wouldn't be doing a five minute podcast in the first place!)  Oh well, I'll have to just make do the best that I can. Thank you so much for listening for these first 100 episodes.  And I hope you stick around for the next 100!  May The Force Be With You! ---------- www.TwelveParsecsPodcast.com TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com www.TheExpandedFandomverse.com ---------- All Star Wars sounds, music, images, logos, designs, characters and elements are registered trademarks and copyright of Disney, Lucasfilm Limited, their subsidiaries and respected rights holders, and used by The Less Than 12 Parsecs Podcast under fair use doctrine.
