I met Conner Smith in 2019 at his parent's sweet shop Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory located just below my apartment in downtown Ashland, Oregon. We swiftly hit it off and I found myself spending more time than I could have possibly have imagined visiting Conner at work and sharing stimulating conversations. Upon reaching eighteen, Conner dropped out of high school to complete the task on his own supported by his parents. Upon completion, Conner departed for Thailand to reunite with his girlfriend. The rest is history. Also on the show is friend and fellow podcaster John Saboe talking about the latest Covid outbreaks in Vietnam.
