I’m Hooked - This Podcast Rocks

I knew of Noah before I started listening to his podcast but never dove deep with his content. But then I saw Matt Gray interview of him, which got me to buy his new book, Million Dollar Weekend, which led me to check out his podcast. I listened to the first one this morning while on my daily run, and I’m hooked. Noah’s advice and content is just what I needed for this time of my life. I’ll be listening every day on my daily runs. Why re-invent the wheel? Listen to Noah and learn faster. Thank you, Noah!
