I can't believe it's been almost a year and a half since I launched the podcast. If y'all remember, my pilot episode was titled Who is Jonny Hsu. For episode 30, I thought I'd give an update on what's been happening over the past year or so about myself and where my interests lie now. I've also decided to shift the theme for the podcast which I talk in this episode, and modify the logo, let me know what you guys think! Thanks for all the support so far and I'm super excited for the upcoming content that I have! Next episode is featuring Jack Leung of Generation Entrepreneur from Australia! If you've enjoyed the content I've posted up until now, it would help me out a ton to leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!
