It’s really good!
I really enjoyed this podcast. It really made me realize that even though I have a plan after I retire in 5 months in the military, that I still need to do as much planning as possible. I am really impressed with both of your stories and how you both chose yourselves and pursued your passion.
Thanks for listening Petrish!! I was very, very fortunate to get a chance to interview her. She just flew to Vietnam this week to begin the adventure that she was referring to in the podcast. I probably should have planed more before quitting my job…that’s why I’m spending so much time focusing on how I would like next year to look like.
