Monthly Recap Live! #5 in 2025

Special thanks to

Mr. Troy Ford

for taking time out of his busy book tour to give us a moment of his time. We discuss Lamb, of course, but also take a deeper dive into his process and perhaps learn more about his newer ideas and how the end is almost always a beginning. Watch the VOD if you missed when we were on Live! And buy his book, out as of yesterday, June 3rd, if you haven’t already!
