Hello Warriors!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Adam Kipp.

Adam is a member of The Standard Nerds. They put out podcasts on "all things nerdy" and also raise money for a children's hospital through an event called Extra Life.

Adam and I attempt to identify Warriors seen in movies, TV series, video games, and comics. 

Of course, Adam answers the three staple questions: What does it mean to be a Warrior? What challenges are you facing? What ultimately inspires you?
