SHOW NOTES:

 

Welcome to Ascent Life LIVE, I’m your host, R. Brandon Long, here with the mission to inspire 1 million people a day to live their best lives, and be the best version of themselves. That is living an Ascent Life

 

Quick update with the show, after this week, I’m moving to a 4pm (ish) recording / LIVE version. Booking the 2pm slot proved difficult, along with the fact that it was literally in the middle of my work day, it made it hard to stay on task with edits, booking, and all the things. 

 

Thank you for sticking with the show. We are now up on Spotify, along with a handful of other podcast networks, as the Ascent Life Podcast. Not yet on Apple Podcasts. I’ll update you once we are live there. In the interim, find us on YouTube of course, and on X with the streaming version of the show.
