@shawnblanc on Free Agents Podcast
by
I’ve worked with Shawn on his sites for a while and even before that I was a fan of his writing. He was just on the Free Agents Show and the thing that stuck out to me was his work and rest routine. He talked more about how it happens week in week out. Specifically
