Podcasting is all the rage these days, so we’re dipping our toes in the water. We’re really lucky to meet and work with a range of creatives and business-owner types on the daily. We’ve learned a lot from these people, and thought we should share some of it around - even if we don’t really like hearing our own voices played back on a podcast.So, what to expect? Well, our episodes will be (mostly) focused on business, creativity and marketing. We have a mix of interviews with our own Motion Sickness team, as well as business owners and marketers that we work with.
