Just came across this podcast, really funny, well worth a listen.
Great guests who talk about random topics that I never thought I’d be interested in.. but I find that I am! A lot to do with Esther who obviously has a knack for picking interesting people. She is a great interviewer and also love her little anecdotes, very funny.
I'm dialed into EMO'D's 80% because I'm learning some clever things that I hope will surface again in her book. And I know there's a tribe of like-minded people who enjoy hearing how other creatives think--that's what the 80% Podcast does for me.
So funny, I adore esther!
Congratulations Esther on a brilliant podcast. I just love it😀.
