This week, we dedicate this episode to Coop’s father who passed away recently. Nicole joins us for the first time ever while also working on the upcoming fundraiser for CFCF. Most of this episode we spend going through the NASEM report and discussing certain topics that we found inside that could have major impacts on the industry. Tune in to hear more on what we covered. We also talk a little bit of TAA and some of the TAA exclusives releases and how we feel about them individually and as a whole.
