This has been a dream, and a LONG time coming. Proving people wrong, and showing myself what I am capable of has been my mindset for the past few years. Losing your vision is never easy, and I am just happy to be in a place now of acceptance, and feeling stronger from it. I can bring perspective in these conversations and interviews that may just, hopefully, provide you the listener a little more insight. So, be sure to follow along, as this podcast is only just getting started.</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you so much for tuning in, and I’ll see you next time!</p><p><br></p><p>Tim</p>","author_name":"Tim Utzig"}
