Looking forward to the many conversations with friends and with you all as we chill on our figurative (and maybe sometimes literal) theme park benches. This podcast will be a combination of theme park news and experiences as well as conversations about the stories that make us, us, because that is who I am. I am so excited to have podcast that fully represents me and my passions. Additionally, I cannot wait to have a platform to show off the incredible people that I have met and connected with through this space. I can’t wait for this new chapter in my podcast journey! Grab a seat on the park bench and let’s chat!
