Really enjoyed this one. I like the normal episodes, but, it was a nice change to get an interview like that. Thanks for reaching out to Mr. Russell and letting him share the details of his story. Great episode. I know those interviews don’t just land on your doorstep every day, but, please keep reaching out to ccw’ers who have these real life stories to tell. This was one of my favorite episodes.
Thanks for the feedback Josh. You will like episode 28 also if you haven’t already listened to it. We will continue to seek these out!
Josh, thank you SO MUCH! I’m really glad you enjoyed this episode. It is challenging to find these people and get them to agree to come on and tell their story for very understandable reasons. We are always trying to find folks like Charles Russell and Didarul “Paco” Sarder (the guy Jacob mentioned in Episode 28). We’ll keep trying to bring more of the same type of content. Thanks buddy!!
Josh, I completely agree. It’s great to hear and learn from these incidents. Thanks to Jacob and Riley for sharing this with us.
