We produce 26 episodes of this podcast each year. But we get hundreds of secrets. Many are shorter and just can’t fill a whole episode. And that leaves me torn, because we have all these wonderful stories, but no where to share them…. But as we close out the year, I thought this would be a great time to give them life. So hang on for a special collection of secrets that are funny and heartfelt. We’ve curated them just for you, to wrap up this year with a bow. ~Ben
