Avoiding trivialities is a kind of brave.

Lex, you’re doing an amazing job. The quality of the narration and deep dive into every topic you discuss with your guests, supposly friends of you which makes these talks even more natural and entertaining is the essence. You’re touching the clue and it’s not only becouse your talks are relatively long. I can jump in a random part of an episode and it’s always deep and insightful.
Thank you for not being superficial, not being trivial. It’s not the easiest way to produce these podcasts I suppose:) I never felt like loosing time hearing these talks.
Keep going! Thank you.
