Ep. 100! Cody Carson Interview | The Start of Set It Off & Our Friendship
To celebrate episode 100 we had to do something special! This week Cody Carson from Set It Off joins me to look back at the very beginning of our friendship, starting Set It Off, me going on tour with them and how those events ultimately shaped both of our lives forever.
It was so cool to be able to take the time to look back at all of these early memories and talk about what we remembered most about each other, and learn more about each other's origin stories that ultimately brought us to become the lifelong friends we are now!
On a personal note, thank you all SO much for supporting the podcast for 100 episodes now! It's the coolest thing in the world to watch it grow and have people watching and listening!
