About this podcast
Does is it ever seem like the rest of the world is two drinks behind? We think so. Join us as we dive into current topics focusing on business, lifestyle, entrepreneurship, policy, and being an ape in the modern world.
You will probably leave with some cool insights, but also probably not.
