Amazingly Digestible. Easily Graspable.
I am used to watching YouTube videos on production content and having to buffer through unwanted info and revisit info I couldn’t grasp the first time. With THIS podcast, I’m able to possibly consume what I needed and hear it relate to real lives, and go back later to bookmarked areas and apply when ready. Amazing 🙌🏽
