Thank you, thank you, thank you so much if you've followed us along this journey, if you've laughed at our stupidest jokes, if you've explored the tools we talked about, if you enjoyed the silly stories we told about silly people, if you spent any of your valuable time listening to this podcast at all.

We're not gone forever and we will certainly have a new podcast on the horizon hopefully soon, so please keep in touch with us if you'd like to follow us into whatever comes next!
