Podcast

The Jolly Swagman Podcast is not just a thinly-veiled excuse for me to speak with the most interesting people I know. Before every episode, I do as much research as possible to connect myself, my audience and my guest to new ideas worth sharing. Think of it as learning in public. Listen below to eavesdrop on a conversation!
