  • EP 71: (Ex)pression

Creators pushed to create, people pushed to have a perfect life, and the urge to always buy something are many things we face in the virtual world. Phillip Conley Jr addresses the Elephant Room with suggestions on how/why to dig deep within ourselves to find the sole purpose of any space we occupy. Recognizing the value we bring is essential to progress in our lives. Share your experiences/thoughts in the comments.
