So fun to listen to.
I’m a fitness trainer and self-taught graphic designer that is now dabbling with some motion design. This podcast has been very informative and insightful. I really like the interviewees so far. They seem not only very smart, but very humble. This goes for the host as well. Thanks a lot guys.
Amazing content and inspirational!
I didn’t know I had patience for long podcasts! Love the episodes and perfect dose of inspiration while on commute! Keep them coming!
extremely insightful + inspiring
I’ve known about SOM for awhile from
their tutorials, but I don’t typically listen to a lot of career-oriented podcasts because they’re often very out of touch or just very obviously PR fluff. This is the opposite—very honest, very candid, and the few episodes I’ve listened to have had very humble and open guests.
