  • Not just for editors

    Zack does here what all great podcasts do (and artists in general) -- he takes something personal and specific and gives an entry point for anyone to relate. It’s been a valuable listen for me since 2018, iirc.

  • Worth the Listen

    Zack's ability to create a space for guests to speak what's in their hearts is clearly evident. A beautiful listen that inspires introspection, self reflection, and inspiration. Looking forward to the many guests that may offer different insights into worlds unfamiliar to most, and perhaps lessons along the way!
