Steve’s episode with Mark Boutros was so insightful and helpful to me as a young writer, it’s so refreshing to hear that all writers suffer from imposter syndrome and its not just me! Compared to the other podcasts around this is super easy to listen to and everything just feels very poised and balanced, really love the smooth transitions too. Highly recommend!
