This unpolished and obvious unscripted podcast is the ugly beginning of a long thought of journey between Benny and Kickstand.  Its rough in comparison to most podcasts, but it has the potential to be so much more and that's our goal.
Follow along as we hope everyone gets to hear the transformation into stories and interviews of some very impactful people throughout our lives and into yours.
