Miscellaneous Important Stuff

By Jay Sheldon

The goal of this podcast is to have interesting conversations in a forty minute time frame. I work in advertising and spend most of my days editing content to sell products and ideas. I wanted to have a podcast where I could engage with people about ideas and not feel the urge to edit the conversation to be different or better than it actually was.
