Episode 1 – Meat and Greet

Apr 16, 2019 | Episode

So we did a thing. Maddie approached Krissi a little while ago about starting a podcast. After many conversations we decided to do this thing. Check out our first podcast episode “Meat and Greet”

We decided on this title because the episode is about introductions and letting people get to know you and we mention our “meat suits” too many times so it seemed like a good title. We hope you enjoy.
