Super informative

I find this podcast super informative and very inspiring. Being a part of several different creative industries, I can relate to a lot of what Aaron and Hassan speak about. Even though I've been in the business for years, I learn something new with each episode. And it also helps that they're funny and charming with a no-nonsense honesty that is refreshing.
