As we continue our recording studio makeover at Ray Edwards, International, I've been going through some past episodes, looking for those that stood out…episodes worth a second listen.

This week, we decided to use some studio downtime to revisit our most downloaded, most commented episode, and strip it down to the meat and potatoes.

So many of us still have life “on pause” as a result of the last 18 months. Regardless of where you are or what restrictions you're still facing, it's time to press play…It's time to move forward. This week, I'm giving you 5 reasons to show you why Now is your time.
