Unfortunately, we had some sound issues during the interview and I thought I can fix it in post, but this was the best audio I could salvage. I decided to publish the conversation because I think it was great and it would be a shame for you not to hear it. It's listenable, but I just wanted to put out a disclaimer because this isn't the norm. Hope you'll still give it a chance! I also hope to do Bryan justice with another talk in the future.
