(Cole - Rubik’s Cube) 

*Since I have many episodes saved up, I decided to post an extra episode this week. This won't happen every week, just when I have many episode saved up.*

On this episode I had the honor to have Cole as my guest. He shared with me his interest in solving Rubik’s cubes as his hobby.
