63 - Update on the Menéndez case & my recent Charlotte interview

1. I wanted to update my listeners on the Erik & Kyle Menéndez case that I mentioned in Episode 47

2. I also wanted to share my thoughts and reflections on a recent interview I did with a local TV news station about my personal journey (including the highs and lows of the interview process).
