Simply incredible history. Thanks Howard M!
This episode was incredible. Learning what Howard “jr” (haha)
went through and has seen in his career is nothing short of amazing. Super interesting person to listen to and intriguing to get a sense of what went on before I was even thought of.
Keep up the good work, you guys are always enjoyable to listen to and learn from.
