Today’s episode is a little bit different. The script has been flipped, as they say. Carson Hall, the St. Louis University High Senior, two-time state champion, lacrosse player, and all-around great kid, will be leading the conversation, interviewing me. Yes, that’s right, the guest is now the host. He came into the conversation, extremely prepared, as would be expected from a junior Bill, and we had a blast talking about the podcast. Why, where are we going with it, what’s been our favorite conversations, what is the theme that resonates the most, and some more background dirt on yours truly. What was supposed to be a simple project for school immediately felt like a great episode. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed sitting there with him. The future is bright, people, so let’s go! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
