deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

Oh hi there! After some radio silence, I'm super happy to announce that I had the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Akash Thakkar for the latest episode of his brilliant Sound Business Podcast! As a long-time listener myself, it's still kinda surreal and I really hope you enjoy our chat!

Oh hi there! After a bit of radio silence I'm super excited to announce that I had the pleasure of speaking with Akash Thakkar for the latest episode of his Sound Business Podcast.
