Up until now, this podcast has covered the same content as my Friday File emails, but I'm making a big change and taking it in a different direction. Don't worry - it's still going to be about actionable advice you can put to use in your practice, and the Friday File emails aren't going anywhere, I'm just going to be covering different topics in each. If you aren't already subscribed to the Friday File email, you can do that right here so that you don't miss out on anything. This episode of the podcast has some tech tips, practice advice, and updates on my travels. It's going to be a work in progress as we experiment with finding a direction that works best. I'd love to hear what you think and any feedback you have. You can always reach me at lee@roseninstitute.com
