  • The one with Luis Espinoza

    My jaw was on the ground the entire time. I love that Ian lets his guest just share it all. He’s an incredible host and interviewer.

It’s crazy that I can relate the comfort of the “system” to different metaphorical prisons in my life (jobs, religion, past relationship’s). I’m proud of Ian for giving so many people a voice what a rad human bei... more
