New float center employee Discord server!

We’ve launched FTA Float Pod, a new way to keep up with FTA content wherever you are. We’re currently adding recordings from our public webinar series to the podcast, making it easier to listen while you’re working at your float center, traveling (to the Float Conference), commuting, or anywhere you may not want to sit down and watch a full video. Our webinar recordings will still be available on YouTube and the FTA website, but FTA Float Pod gives you another convenient way
