Isaac Goodwater | Friendship, Nostalgia, and Music

Isaac Goodwater joins the show for an entertaining conversation about friendship, music, and nostalgia. Together, we dive into stories from our Sprint days, laugh about hilarious moments from the past, and explore the powerful role music has played in shaping our lives.
