The Better Than Before Podcast

By Cool Davis

The Better Then Before Podcast is about having conversations that inspire individuals and the community to be Better Then Before. Me and My Guest talk about how we have grown as people, what inspired us to grow and the mistakes we have made. We will also talk about a bunch of things unrelated to that but that is what we hope to achieve!
