Rated G

We’ve got one heck of a podcast, friends! Hours of catching up with a good old college buddy from 10+ years ago, Marcus Vega makes his first appearance! Despite how long it’s been since we’ve talked, it felt like nothing has changed! We caught up talking about life, art, Marcus’s first impression of me, collaborating, a beloved film project that we worked on in college, and so much more! It was a quite a ride!
