Left Brain Podcast

By lennon virakone

Left Brain Podcast is a collection of casual conversations with people dear to me or people I've been fortunate enough to cross paths with and consider them friends.

Why Left Brain? It's simply describing my personality traits as I'm left handed and I tend to think more logical and analytical as oppose the counterpart which is described as creative and intuitive.

Though I lean towards more left brained, my hope is to find a balance between the left and right brain.
