This episode is about appreciating family – our own, our podcasting family, our social media family- and how we can help a family in need. Tee Morris, one of the first and most inspiring podcasters out there, recently lost his wife Natalie. He and his daughter Serena are now facing a future without Natalie, and we are asking you to help. Please check out the ChipIn link to donate to Serena’s trust fund, and check out The Boom Effect to find out how you can help an auction that will also go to Serena’s trust fund. Thanks!

I end this podcast with the poem “The Tale of Custard the Dragon” by Ogden Nash. I originally recorded this for a friend for Christmas, but I thought it would be a nice poem for Serena if she gets to listen to it!
