Well, we thought, if this 78th(!) episode doesn’t make this podcast an overnight success, nothing will 🥁

I really enjoyed the most recent episode of the podcast talking about this quote from one of the lesser-known Twitter cofounders, Biz Stone. It hit home well enough for me to sketch it.

I read Biz Stone’s impressive story in his book Things a Little Bird Told Me.
