A source of constant inspiration in 2023 was the exceptional people who agreed to come on my podcast. Honestly every single one is / has made our city better, and I loved getting to try understand how they got to be that person. 🙏

Taking a moment to remember Jason today on what would have been his 50th birthday 🖤
