Alright, guys … it’s time to talk. This will be a longer post, but see it through. Y’all have probably noted that we haven’t dropped an episode in a few weeks, and there is a big reason why … we are stopping the podcast.  In truth, SoCo is stopping, but it’s not what you think!!! Hang in there for a minute. This thing has been a complete blast, and we have loved every minute of it, but we think a few things are hard to ignore at this point and so we aren’t. Here are a few things we noticed: It feels increasingly difficult to contribute positively in the form of a podcast.  There was a time when it felt like there were parts of deer hunting that weren’t talked about. These days, it feels like a lot of reaching to find something “groundbreaking” or regurgitating the same things every podcast is talking about.  The landscape for growth has changed. Business pages are finding it increasingly difficult to grow without paying for exposure.  This digital community is the core of why we do
