“If you want better answers, ask better questions.” It’s come to be a mantra of mine, and that’s what we’re talking about this episode. A few nights ago I spent three hours logging the responses to a question that I asked on Instagram, and I ended that session very much feeling that if people asked […]

Listen to the PodcastSafety.

Listen to the PodcastWas fortunate enough to attend a virtual workshop led by James-Olivia Chu Hillman (and moderated by Nic Strack), and that shit was total fire.
