I cannot say enough good things about my guests this week. Not only were they all interesting and engaged, they went so far as to record this thing twice!

That's right. Sunday night I recorded and when we finished...no file. I thought for certain that we would need to scratch for this week. But instead, they agreed to come back the next day and record the whole thing over again. How's that for going above and beyond?

So thanks to Jonah, Hal and Alan for being so flexible during the worst recording disaster we've ever had. You all are the best.

And thanks also to John Wall, who because of work could not be available for the re-recording, but was patient enough to be talked over constantly the first time. Make sure you give The Marketing Over Coffee Awards some love for me.

Don't forget to add me on your Twitter profile for all the latest BeanCast news, as well as my random witticisms. I'm TheBeanCast. As always, thanks for listening and please add a positive review to iTunes if you like the show.
