CAG770Insightful and totally practicalKevin Rapp’s episode brought me here. Hayley’s interview skills are top notch and I felt like she was asking questions I had in my head. Not only was the episode a breeze to listen to, I walked away with practical and actionable steps I could apply to my own production company. Even though I’m not a motion designer, I got a ton of value out of that episode. 50 minutes and a new perspective, best investment I’ve made.
