I’ve followed CRS for a short amount of time. Their cause (and the case they make for it) is so compelling, important, and quite different from what you’ll find elsewhere. I’ve found their content elsewhere (articles, books, appearances on other podcasts) to be really worthwhile and quite inspiring, and this podcast is no different! Keep up the good work:)
