I love this podcast
I was on this podcast a few months ago and they just consistently kill it over and over and over!! I can’t wait to see where they go. Amazing questions and great conversations
As a guest
Interviewing w/Steph and Tyler was an utter joy. It’s so fun to connect with others that have a similar passion for the career path and related paths that I have chosen as fulfilling. I hope you choose to join and connect over creativity and curiosities for the many collaborative roles that create the industry and art. Further more the conversation was comfortable, fluid and thoughtful. They are well researched and prepared which I find respectable for any guest they bring on.
