Episode 36: Season 2 Wrap Up

Season 2 of Dear ID is finally over! In this episode, I share some stats about my 2016 year of projects, takeways from Season 2's focus on tools and tech, and what's next for Season 3 of Dear ID. I'm sick (for the first time in forever!) but I wanted to get out this season review.

Also, a call to action for a crazy idea: If you wouldn't mind talking with me for a few episodes in Season 3, reach out!
