Huge apologies for this being so So SO delayed. The last month or so has been extremely difficult personally, and the show got backburnered. Much of the info is at least a month out of date, but it's totally worth a listen for the awesome personalities Jane Steinkamp and her daughters, Melissa Steinkamp and Molly Bates. We had a ton of laughs and great conversation with them throughout the show so we didn't want to cut the show down to just the (amazing and wide-ranging) interview. Enjoy!...
