A Maturing Amateur

Leisure EN ↓ 8 episodes

When you do things for the first time, you are an amateur - and since this is our first time living, we are all just amateurs at life. That doesn't mean we can't grow, learn, and mature. Join me, Saif, as I make the best of my first try at life and speak to some other maturing amateurs about their first try.
