This week we drink through the nose with Samuel Cohen Drinking Through the Nose on Facebook facebook.com/Drinkingthroughthenose Get the free book drinkingthroughthenose.com TD on Twitter @talkingdietz twitter.com/talkingdietz  TD on Instagram talkingdietz instagram.com/talkingdietz Me on Twitter @thestevebrown1 *** This is the last episode for 2018. Thank you for everyone who gave their time and the thousands that listened. TD all began when I returned from a Peruvian retreat in April 2018 with a deep desire to create, explore, share, make people laugh, have a crack and live life to the absolute fullest. Unfortunately in recent weeks, I have reverted to 'pre-Peru Steve Brown'—essentially just grinding day to day. There are plans for a return to Peru in early 2019 so who knows what that means for TD. *Fingers crossed* there's a season 2. If not, thanks again—it's been a blast.
