Seriously helpful stuff guys

So refreshing to hear what we designers think about but don't discuss, especially when it comes to running a creative business. Often find myself saying 'hhhmmmm' and 'yeahhh' out loud while listening. You guys are nailling it! Highly recommended.

Down to earth, honest conversations

I wasn't entirely sure I was going to enjoy this podcast but I find myself refreshing the feed most days nd have actually listenned to some episodes more than once. Things to love about this podcast: Good quality sound, regular release schedule, quality topics, honest conrvesations, all of the hosts have good credentials. Interesting to hear the different accents too. It would be interesting to have a fifth guest speaker on maybe. Keep up the good work.
