    Episode 7: Season 2 Trailer - At Very Long Last
    Mar 1 2023

    It's almost time. It's mostly recorded. It's entirely compelling.

    The much-anticipated second season of Compelling & Rich is just around the corner, and to get your ears ready we have a small sampling of, well, of what we thought you had coming.

    This is where we tell you to keep up with us on the socials, but if we're being honest, since we last spoke, Facebook has fallen out of favour and Twitter has made too many headlines for us to get involved in. Oh, and despite what you'll hear in an upcoming episode, Mark now has Instagram, so that's mostly where you'll be getting all of our extra content. Until we get a Patreon.

    Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Compelling & Rich. Our sixth and final episode of Season 1 takes a very personal look at Marc's journey into Fatherhood. We hear about the highs and lows of starting a family, from the long term planning to the quick changes that are brought about by extending a family. Hopefully anyone listening can pick up some hints, tips, or at least solace, from Marc's experience.
