We are old enough to have some perspective and perhaps even some insights.We’re interviewing our classmates—some of the most interesting people we know—to collectively reflect on where we started, how far we’ve come, and where we might be headed.Please support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/thelinkpodcastEmail our producer David Yas at david@pod617.com
