Alternate names for the podcast. A lot of consideration went into naming the Soul Forge Podcast. So before we get into some heavy topics, I thought it appropriate to go over other possibilites I considered when naming the show. This should give a bit more insight into exactly what my goals, motivations and hopes for the podcast are. Thanks for tuning in and spreading the Soul Forge message.
