MOT 100 | The Gang Finishes a Project

Join Joe, Chris, and myself as we finish what we started. This is the first episode we've recorded since I came out as transgender, which brought out a lot of emotions. We have changed since we started the show, but I'm so grateful that I was able to share this part of my journey with them, and you, through this podcast. We aren't going anywhere, but this "season" of Makers on Tap is complete. If you'd like to keep in touch with us, we're still hanging out in the MOT Discord like we always have; you're welcome to join it! Thanks for being great listeners and good people
