Today's episode is a special one because it's our 50th episode!
It's been a year since we started the Degree Free podcast! We were doing other things and working multiple jobs and running another business so we started this as an experiment and it still is one in many respects.
We didn't know what to expect and your overflowing support is a huge surprise and it's something that we sincerely appreciate! We're constantly grateful and humbled that we have people listening, interacting, and getting value out of what we do.
We hope to be doing this for a long time more to help as many people reach their goals and potential as possible!
Hope you all enjoy the episode!
