In this week's 5th & final Sidekick Pro episode, I sit down with DYM's own, Josh Boldman! The brains behind Sidekick Pro, and first I quiz him on all things Sidekick, see how he fares, then I give him an opportunity to push back against some of my scores, he adds one more "at large" feature to the final voting options, and then crowns the ultimate sidekick pro feature.

It's an amazing interview, full of fun, but also with a ton of behind the scenes information!
Including how to access sidekick pro for FREE for a month all the way at the end of the episode!
