The Milkman Made Me podcast hopes to deliver a fresh glass of perspective on the world around us. We want to bring joy, honesty, and encourage others to chase their dreams. The title of our podcast refers to our father, The Milkman, and often we talk about the values he taught us and how those shaped us into who we are today. Through this creative outlet we hope to form relationships, grow as human beings, and have fun all while we learn what shapes the culture around us all.
This is the 51st episode of The Milkman Made Me podcast and as I write this episode description I really don't remember what this episode is about. Why? We recorded it about a 6 months after 50, and that was about a year and half since then so yea... No doubt it is going to be funny and full of who knows what, but the point is we are back and maybe not better then ever but at least as good as before.
