Welcome to Synchronicity. It's been a while, and of course I come back after a prolonged absence with an episode that is shorter in rage, at least 60 to 80% of people listening. But that's, I think it's important. You'll hear in this episode, which is with the wonderful Jason Louve, you can check out his podcast, Ultra Culture.
