    Pretty good podcast, some guests are unbearable.
    Content is good. Some of the guests are on their pseudo-spiritual-Rick-Rubin awakening. It comes off as self indulgent and it’s exhausting.

    Honest Filmmakers
    In a very “look” oriented career sometimes it’s hard to hear or even have honest conversations. This podcast is incredibly encouraging and helpful —especially being a filmmaker in an industry that many times can be toxic. Thanks Jon!
