MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS: EPISODE FOUR

So, we did this crazy thing called buying a business while both working full time and having a baby and parenting two big kids and we’ve been living in a time vacuum since last October or so. I often forget what year it is. 2020? 2018? HOW MANY YEARS JUST HAPPENED TODAY?

Not sure if you qualify … Continue reading JUST BREATHE
