  • The first ever podcast I listened to

    I swore I’d never be a podcast person but here I am, 33, diving deep into Jeremy Bolm’s podcast. It makes it easy when all the guests are people I genuinely want to listen to. Every episode has been so cool, so far my favorite episode has been Mike Bingham’s simply because it actually made me cry with his last answer. The best part about this podcast is hearing how people you admire and look up to are just people like you.

    What the title says. Jeremy is a great interviewer, I love hearing his banter with guests. Each episode is special and it’s very inspiring to hear the humble beginnings of all these people I look up to as creatives.
