Description
"The Network" is THE educational podcast designed to help our community navigate the four areas of life that I like to call the Funky 4 Corners. I’ve had the opportunity to interview some of my favorite people with one goal in mind: To help the spiritual, physical, mental and financial health of our people as we navigate this thing called life.
