Ascend – The podcast has started!
Today I started recording readings from Ascend – Inspiration for the Adventure of Life. Two episodes are now available.
With each episode, I will be adding some commentary to the chapter readings. I will end up doing readings that cover 1/3 of the book.

Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.
Please subscribe on Spotify. I plan to release two episodes each week for the next ten weeks or so.
