(Are you impressed by how calm, cool and collected I’ve been so far? Paul is one of the hosts of my favorite podcast and he’s on MY podcast and that is very cool and I am not collected. I’m so uncollected, that I’m releasing this episode a week early! After the show notes, I’ll link to a few episodes that include some links to related episodes of Finding Favorites).
