I just finished my first ever podcast of the Shawn Ryan Show. I asked a friend to name their top 3 podcasts. Shawn Ryan was #1 for him and now is for me! I started on episode #151 with Joe Lonsdale. He seems very well rounded and super intelligent. I learned so much. Doing what is good for our country and the people resonates strongly with me. I have already shared this gem of a show with my friends.
