“Loved hearing from Alana and Cameron, it’s hard navigating and figuring out where you fit (want to fit) and how to enter the industry. But hearing from women like these is so eye opening. Thank you Justin for all of these conversations.”

“I mostly enjoy this podcast, however there were a few interviews that made me cringe with the misogynistic language he used. I’m surprised the producing team allowed it. Backhanded language about women to describe anyone is lazy and unnecessary.”
