The Importance of the Team Theme

One of the things I like about blogs and podcasts is the ability to check the archives. I’ve been on a really extensive enjoyment of podcasts in recent months. I feel late to the party, but that’s not unusual. There are podcasts that I prefer to listen to the latest episodes, but some have me […]
