For the cost of buying me a cup of coffee once a month you can sit and listen to conversations about stuff you love. If you don’t want to make that kind of commitment – that’s fine – tell someone about this – like someone told you. Movers Mindset is a huge thing to be totally supported by word of mouth… I’m talking about planes, trains, and automobiles that get me into the backyards and brains of the people in this community that you want to hear from!

That’s the point of the podcast— for me to go there so you can go there too– and together we can learn from movement enthusiasts.

Thanks for listening!
