I recorded episode 4 with today’s guest, Ian and although the content is great, the audio didn’t come out well. I strongly suggest still listening to that episode, but we have recorded another episode together to give you the experience you deserve. Here is episode 4.1 with the man behind our logo, Ian Vanderhill.

Today’s guest made my awesome logo for the pod. He is the commissioner of my fantasy basketball league. A man of intrigue and talent. The kind of person who brings his own non-dairy milk to a restaurant—just in case. I’m very excited to welcome this week’s guest, Ian Vanderhill!

This episode's guest is someone that is smart, kind, talented, and driven. And he's super humble about it too. He's willing to fight for what he believes in and he will make you believe in it too! I am very excited to welcome a true mensch, Nate Cohen!
