Podcast Overview

This podcast appears to become less focused as time goes by. It started as an experiment to post an episode a day for a year. Now, it seems to be an episode a year. Franklin, at various times, has been a musician, recording engineer and producer, a business owner, a personal coach, a marketing agent, a salesperson, a dad, a content creator, a honey bunny, a son, a brother, and a multitude of other descriptors, none of which seem to stick. Two things remain: Franklin has a microphone and a pot-a-day coffee habit. Also here: Episodes from Your Own Best Company and The Reset podcasts.
