Episode 75: Aging Like Fine Grape Juice with Brett Duncan

This week, we’re continuing our series Aging Like Fine Grape Juice and I’m talking to my long-time friend, Brett Duncan. Brett is one of those friends who, no matter how long it’s been since you’ve seen each other, you can pick right back up with like no time has passed. He’s also the creator of Uncle Dunc’s Sticker Shoppe, and if you have a Kindle, it’s THE place to go for all the cool sticker decorations (www.uncleduncsstickers.com)! Plus, we talk about all the ways that life can change and the unexpected paths it can take. We’re very wise, guys. Oh, and Slim Chickens - I’m totally serious about that collab.
