As we approach the end of this podcast and the beginning of our new one, we decided to take an episode to humanize ourselves.
After all, on the internet, we can look as reasonable and efficient as we want. The downside is leaving everyone else with a false impression of who we are. We are not productivity machines, we’re just regular people doing cool things.
What that means is that you don’t have to feel anything we do or have done is out of reach.
Even fools can be productive.
