  • 359 - Here's to New Beginnings

    This episode was recorded a few days before Jody's big move to Chicago. We talk about the mix of excitement and never that come with moving to a new city, the unpredictable world of Facebook Marketplace, and the fact that this will be our list in-person recording session for a while. Don't worry, Heavy Conversation will be back next week - we're just recording via Zoom.

    PLUS: We talk about the new "Best Big & Tall Suit Brands" article at Chubstr.com.
