  • Brilliant + reassuring candor

    New favorite podcast— great guests, incredibly timely takes on evergreen factors of choosing a creative life/ career. Hard to describe how much insight, humor, and non-corny vulnerability these two + their guests bring to every episode. Deep dives punctuated by levity and breakthroughs that feel earned rather than performed. Loved the Tompkins and Loftus episodes most. Glad every episode ends on a note of sane uplift.

  • Podcast is behind a paywall now?

    Love your show, used to never miss it, but that’s when I could listen to the whole thing. You asked us to go vote for your podcast and I did. Now I can’t listen unless I pay for it? Unsubscribing 😕
