  • Will is such a great host and a great person

    I love this podcast because Will is always such a wonderful host. His kindness and care for the industry he discusses comes across in every episode. As a guest on this show I was really impressed with Will’s authentic care for the topic and his ability to work with me as a non linear thinker 😂

    It’s unique to hear someone who is simultaneously so knowledgeable about a topic and also open minded and kind in the process

    Great show Will! Keep it coming!!!!
