    This week we’re hanging out IN-PERSON with sign painter Mark Sennert from Stray Voltage Signs.  We talk about working crappy, non-creative/civilian jobs, getting into sign painting and charging for work. Lots of hate for the movie Seabiscuit in this one, so sorry if your a fan.

We’re all just cosplaying as adults

Dan is a great host, can’t wait to hear more interviews. I have also struggled with imposter syndrome so it’s great to hear other people’s stories.
