interesting and insightful

If your interested in how a forward thinking club operates this is a great listen. I find the honesty and openness refreshing as well as the willingness to talk about things which could be considered 'inside knowledge'. A fascinating podcast, the only downside is waiting for the next episode. Please keep up the great work
