Today, on the 38th episode of MTN, we sit down without a guest. Taking some time, every once in a while, to talk through a few ideas that we've had on our minds recently and digest some information from past guests. Hunter and Mike talk about some of the training ideas they've been having of late, the things they've adopted from previous guests on this podcast, and they discuss where the future of MTN seems to be heading. Every week for the last 38 weeks, we've continued to put out content that we want to help push the field forward with. As we have continued to do so, we've begun to find some clarity where we'd like to see our paths go.
