So, what exactly do we even do here in Ukraine?  Wide Awake International has a lot of moving parts and I don't blame you if you have a bit of a hard time keeping them all straight đŸ˜†.  In this episode, I introduce our boys and our team, explain the full picture of what we are doing here in Ukraine, and describe the different focuses of our work here. It's an info-heavy episode...you've been warned!

PS: My brother, the super talented  Matt Bittner, is our new sound designer for the podcast! The music is his and it's perfect.
