And now for this week’s prescription:

On this week's episode, we switched things up as we discussed some personal updates and reflected on our time in Austin, and our experience building Venture Pill over the past 2+ years. First, we talked about how the podcast is going virtual with Sam moving to Chicago and Brandon moving to NYC. From there, we reminisced on the past 8 years in Austin, including our time as students at UT Austin and as young adults in this incredible city. Then, we looked back at our journey creating this podcast and the Pillgrim community over the past 2+ years. We discussed what inspired us to start it, how it has strengthened our friendship, lessons learned, our proudest moments, and more. We hope you enjoy this week’s special episode.
