In today's episode we are going to do something that's a good bit different than anything we've done before. Because in today's episode, I am going to be the guest. Yes, instead of me interviewing someone else, in today's show, you are going to get to hear someone else interviewing me. And in that interview, we'll get into many of the details and the backstory of Plane Faith and how it came into existence.
