It all started with a somewhat blind double date. The story of Chris and Lauren Tomlin is one for the ages. It's definitely not a straight line, but it continues in the best possible way. From Lauren's motto of "Ready, Fire, Aim," to their children asking Chris if he could help facilitate songwriting advice, this episode is an all-timer.  Thanks to our sponsors!
