Here is episode 2 of Conventionally Uncouth, where we sat down with Mike and Chad to talk conventionals, prospect generation, and a little BS. These two are slated to be regulars, helping take us all the way through a conventional prospect from a 2 AM color pencil session to oil in the tanks. Hope y'all enjoy!
