Useful and thought provoking

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this podcast. It has been not only fun to listen to, but also has offered tools and ideas to make me more productive in my own works. There is variety as well. You aren’t really sure what comes next, you just know it’ll be entertaining and inspire change.
