Hey Guys! Maq and Krish here, this is our Podcast, The Drawing Board. We decided that we wanted a way to capture the conversations we had in a way that we could look back in 5-10 years time and see what our frame of thinking was and what things were going through our heads, rather than lose them to the abyss of forgotten history. No real format, we're just gonna talk about whatever is on our minds, whether it be recent world news, ideas we find interesting, sports, comedy or anything about life in general.
