You read that right, this is our 100th episode of the podcast! To celebrate 100 episodes, I thought it might be kind of fun to flip the script a little bit and put myself in the hot seat. The conversation in this episode is between OH&S Content Editor Shereen Hashem and I—all about the evolution of the podcast and what I have learned through my experience as the host.

I had a lot of fun being interviewed by Shereen. It was nice to open up and to let our listeners know a little bit more about me and my perspective on the industry.

So, if you’re interested in listening to this interview with me and hearing some flashbacks to our earlier episodes, download or stream the episode today at Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify and more.
