    PRICE | Wolven: Rooting resources in community, building for sustainability

Legit conversations

Really into these smart, interesting and nuanced conversations. Lola and Frankie bring so much warmth and curiosity to the conversations and each guest is so passionate and articulate. I’ve learned a lot about what goes into style and what the rules are and why they’re being broken. Definitely recommend this podcast to anyone interested in bringing intention and meaning to their style. Also the visual guys are so cool!
