Monitoring the situation on the banks. Missouri corona virus.

Life on the banks. We’re monitoring the situation.

If Jimmy John’s and Warby Parker offer their take, we will, too. If you don’t consume podcasts on the reg, you may not be familiar with our project over at The Scout Podcast. And if that’s the case, you didn’t catch 30-minutes worth of introverted Dad advice from Jordan and Jeff. In not quite a […]
