At the end of each year, I like to see what you beautiful…sexy…outstanding people liked. What the fam….recognized (fam).
I decided to add a few extra little diddy’s this year. First, we will start off with debriefs. The little podcast/vlog that could.
As I try to keep the debrief filled with variety, there didn’t seem to be any common themes; just good topics.
Check out your favorite debriefs below, and thank you again for an amazing 2019!
