Josh and Tommy from TDTS are back chatting to me (for their podcast) and seeing as (1) I’m super lazy and (2) we had a great chat, I thought we’d Podcast-share (it’s a thing). In this Ep. we talk about everything from building a business and brand, to purpose and passion, to Elon Musk and other socially awkward people, to the future of blogs and podcasts, to the development of my cult and the day...
