I've been looking forward to releasing this episode for a long time. As a matter of fact, it's bizarre that I haven't had Thomas on the show until now. (That's probably why this episode clocks in as my longest to date, both in terms of length and amount of links in the show notes.)
There's so much we talk about during this episode – as you can see and soon will hear. I hope you enjoy this lengthy and deep discussion that I'm thrilled to send your way.
