This is a quick episode to share a bit of an update: I've decided to change the format of the show! Instead of weekly episodes, I will be releasing one longer podcast interview each month, allowing for deeper and more meaningful conversations.

You guys already got a bit of a taste of the new format last week with my episode with Zarna Garg, and I can't wait to share many more deep and meaningful conversations with you all moving forward!
