I’ve always loved the idea of experimenting with podcast formats and Danny’s show makes my heart so happy. So much serendipitous moments because of these random questions. The episode with Mandy was so good. I relate with the childhood uncertainties and building confidence through life’s experiences. 💚
Great show with some great bold questions! Love how open the guests get and how in turn, Danny is also encouraged to open up too! A fun way to get to know so many incredible folks in the podcast industry SO much better.
What a fun idea! Danny is a great host and you will not believe the fascinating places these questions will take you!
