I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the brilliant and inspiring Deborah Liu. She's the CEO of Ancestry.com and has been a leader at Facebook, PayPal, eBay, THE LIST GOES ON!

We talk about sabbath a lot here. For the next couple of weeks, our team is taking some much-needed time off and we wanted to invite you to take a little break and a moment of quiet, to rest too.

There will be regularly scheduled episodes again next week, but for today and Thursday, let’s use the time we’d normally spend listening to That Sounds Fun as an opportunity to worship and rest.
