Doing it Well
Doing it Well is a podcast that delves into the lives and professions of others; however conventional or unconventional they may be. We learn about their hustle, how they got to where they are, tips of the trade, what they actually do on a day-to-day, if it makes them happy, and most importantly----how they find humor in their daily grind. Listen, learn, laugh, gain some empathy and get inspired.
