Back in Venice with one of the biggest supporters of the WODcast Podcast, Logan Gelbrich. Logan just release his new book that is available on Amazon.com entitled, "Going Right, A Logical Justification for Pursuing Your Dreams." We discuss the book and go deep. Somehow Logan broke me down and we have an unusual conversation for the WODcast. Probably only one inappropriate joke in the entire episode. Also listen for me to fall for a terrible April Fool's joke.
