Todd is a treasure trove of knowledge. We went into a deep dive about his role, and the original episode was almost an hour long. Because of this, the podcast is heavily edited for time. I strongly encourage everyone to check out the longer episode on YouTube. Todd was incredibly gracious with his time.
